September Is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month

Please join with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) in raising awareness and knowledge about prostate cancer and the prostate cancer screenings covered by Medicare. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States, after lung cancer. Medicare provides coverage of two types of prostate cancer screenings.


Medicare provides coverage for digital rectal exams (DREs) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests once every 12 months for all male beneficiaries aged 50 and older. The DRE must be performed by a physician or nonphysician practitioner who is authorized under state law to perform the examination; the PSA blood test must be ordered by the patient’s physician or qualified nonphysician practitioner. Both screenings are covered under Medicare as a Part B benefit.

Information provided by Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), through National Government Services (NGS).
