Evaluation of patient ‐focused interventions to promote colorectal cancer screening among New York state Medicaid managed care patients

ConclusionsScreening uptake was low and did not differ significantly across the 2 regions or within the 3 cohorts. The incentive payment and mailed reminder did not appear to be effective in increasing CRC screening. The total cost of implementation was lower in the Central Region because of efficiencies generated from lessons learned during the first round of implementation in the Adirondack Region. More varied multicomponent interventions may be required to facilitate the completion of CRC screening among Medicaid beneficiaries.Cancer 2018;124:000 ‐000.
