Purpose: Adherence to colorectal cancer (CRC) re-screening is essential to maximize screening effectiveness. This study assessed adherence to a multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA) test among previous users in the USA across different payer types.
Methods: Data from Exact Sciences Laboratories LLC (01/01/2023-12/31/2023) were used.
Objectives: To describe member adherence to a mail-based, health insurer-sponsored gap closure program for colorectal cancer (CRC) screening using multi-target stool DNA (mt-sDNA; Cologuard) tests.
Methods: Combined patient data from Exact Sciences Laboratories LLC and data from mass-mailed mt-sDNA orders placed by a large Medicare Advantage Insurance Plan were analyzed (03/01/2023-06/30/2023). Adherence and time to test return were the primary and secondary outcomes, respectively.
