In May 2021, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) Quality Measures Voting Members unanimously recommended the addition of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening to the CMS Medicaid Adult Core Set of Quality Measures for adoption in 2022. However, CMS has the latitude to reject recommendations
from the Voting Members. The proposed CMS Medicaid CRC screening quality measure should be supported because it is actionable, has alignment with other metrics, is appropriate, is feasible, and will promote equity for all people insured through CMS.
