9.16.2024 New FDA approved blood test for Colorectal Cancer Screening measure (COL-E) Can an FDA approved blood test be used when reporting the COL-E measure?

The Colorectal Cancer Screening (COL-E) measure is based on the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines for colorectal cancer screening. The guidelines do not recommend serum (blood) testing (e.g., blood-based biomarker) and for this reason it does not meet criteria for the HEDIS measure. NCQA continually monitors clinical practice guidelines as they are updated.
