On Thursday, February 16, the V-BID Center director, Dr. A. Mark Fendrick, spoke at the University of Michigan Division of Gastroenterology/Hepatology Grand Rounds. Dr. Fendrick’s presentation, “Eliminating Financial Barriers to Colorectal Cancer Screening: When Free Isn’t Really Free”, highlighted barriers to care and ongoing efforts to reduce out-of-pocket costs for necessary follow-up after initial cancer screening, which could increase screening uptake, enhance equity, and ultimately save lives.
