Stool DNA Colorectal Cancer Screening

Vermont rates for HCPCS 81528

This is a noninvasive screening test that analyzes a stool sample for altered DNA and blood traces linked to colorectal cancer and precancerous growths. It is an alternative to more invasive screening methods for people at average risk, done at home and mailed to a lab for analysis. A positive result means a follow-up colonoscopy is needed to look for the source directly.
