Pennsylvania Health Plans Must Cover Colon Cancer Screening at 45
Pennsylvania is now requiring health insurance plans to cover colon cancer screening starting at age 45, lowering the threshold from the traditional age of 50. The change reflects updated medical guidance following rising colorectal cancer rates among younger adults. Insurers in the state must include the earlier screening without cost barriers for patients, a move expected to improve early detection and treatment outcomes.
Why now: New state insurance requirements for earlier colon cancer screening are timely given rising colorectal cancer rates in younger adults.
