Talking to your patients

Here are a few talking points you can use when speaking to patients about colorectal cancer screening:

Colorectal cancer is the second most deadly form of cancer, but it doesn’t have to be.
Screening can prevent the cancer or catch it early when it’s highly treatable.
Most insurance plans cover 100% of the cost of screening with no co-pays or deductibles. Even without insurance, there are low cost, reliable options. Let’s talk about the one that is right for you.
Get screened!
Then, talk about your experience and encourage other people you know to be screened too.

Your Stories

Getting screened for colorectal cancer was a no brainer. It was easy. The difficult part was the prep and that wasn’t even that bad. Honestly, it was a piece of cake: go in, go to sleep and then go home. I plan to get screened again when it’s time and encourage people in my life to do the same.
