🤔 This interesting new study found that cancer screening rates double when patients start Medicare as compared to the previous year. https://www.beckerspayer.com/payer/cancer-screenings-double-when-patients-receive-medicare-epic-research-finds.html

This research highlights how important access to healthcare coverage is for preventive care like cancer screenings. Having Medicare coverage clearly removes some barriers that might prevent people from getting the screenings they need. It's encouraging to see data showing that when people have better access to healthcare, they're more likely to take advantage of these potentially life-saving tests that can catch cancer early when treatment is most effective.
