American Cancer Society and Humana Join Forces

The American Cancer Society (ACS) and Humana are collaborating on several special projects regarding various aspects of cancer screening.

ACS is offering free continuing medical education (CME) activities, including presentations that address risk factors, prevention strategies, recommended screening options and the current status of virtual colonoscopy and molecular stool screening. From www.humana.com, click on “Providers” and then “Provider Resource Center.” Click on the “Provider Tools” link from the list on the left side of the page. Then click on “Continuing Medical Education (CME) Opportunities.”

Other initiatives currently being tested include physician focus groups and mailings to fully-insured HMO and PPO Humana members who are candidates for certain cancer screening procedures.
