Cancer screenings

This report tracks routine screenings for breast, colorectal, and cervical cancer. When caught early, each of these diseases can have an improved prognosis. However, screening rates for colorectal cancer are lagging in Tennessee – and this disease is the second-leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.

What We're Measuring

Cancer Screenings

This data shows how likely members are to receive certain screenings, care or treatments, broken down by where they live, what their backgrounds are, and what level of social risk they have. 

Each measure has two sets of charts based on where members get coverage:

  • Commercial members get coverage through their jobs, or directly from BCBST.
  • BlueCare members get coverage through TennCare, Tennessee's Medicaid program.

We split this data because Medicaid (BlueCare) members tend to face more social risk factors and health disparities than commercial members.

We offer preventive benefits for members and support to improve your health. Learn which screenings are recommended for you.
