Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Targeted CRC screening for ages 45–75
CDC’s DP25-0012 cooperative agreement (issued 2025, a 5-year award) funds recipients to partner with health systems and primary care clinics to increase colorectal cancer (CRC) screening among defined populations of adults ages 45–75 whose screening rates are lower than national, regional, or local rates. The program is implemented through 38 recipients and focuses clinic outreach and Evidence-Based Interventions (EBIs) on those lower-screening populations to increase screening uptake and early detection.
Financial support for follow-up colonoscopies
Under DP25-0012, recipients are required to provide limited financial resources to support follow-up colonoscopies for under- and uninsured patients after an abnormal colorectal cancer screening test. This assistance is intended to help patients who lack insurance or adequate coverage obtain required diagnostic follow-up.
