Big News from South Carolina
Posted by Joe Arite on February 20th, 2008
Last legislative session State Senator David Thomas and Sate Representative Gilda Cobb Hunter introduced companion legislation (S561 & H3530) to mandate colorectal cancer screening coverage in South Carolina.
After pressure from advocates around South Carolina, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of South Carolina has voluntarily agreed to provide colorectal cancer screening coverage for all of their customers fifty years of age and older. This policy change will impact approximately 300,000 South Carolinians.
If you have time please take a moment to thank Senator Thomas and Representative Cobb Hunter for all of their hard work.
