Though the League rarely invites a vendor to speak at a clinical learning session, we are aware of increased interest in the Cologuard DNA test as one option for colorectal cancer screening. If you would like to learn more, please join us on Wednesday, March 9th from 12:00 -1:00 pm for a webinar centered around the science, use and implementation of Cologuard.
The session will be led by a team of Exact Sciences representatives including, Luchy Hidalgo, M.D. and Medical Science Liason, Liz Cort, MBA and David Wynn of the Screening and Health Equity team. Together the presenters will review:
- Research around the efficacy of Cologuard including sensitivity, specificity, and testing interval
- Cologuard patient navigation program and other possible benefits for FQHCs
- Utilization and coverage of Cologuard as an equitable screening modality in Federally Qualified Health Centers in Massachusetts
**Please note, our understanding is that Cologuard does not have a contract with Mass Health at this time, though Medicare and some private insurers do cover the test.**
The League supports the range of testing modalities available to patients and acknowledges that the best test is the one that gets completed.
In honor of Colorectal Cancer Screening Awareness Month, participants are encouraged to wear blue to this Learning Session!
Please reach out to KC (kdonfro@massleague.org) with any questions.
