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

After experiencing a colonoscopy for myself, I realized just how quick and painless screening really is. Sure the prep is no fun (just consider it a rite of passage) but the procedure is effective and over before you know it. In fact, a small polyp was removed, successfully preventing what may have become cancer. All treatment should be so easy!
