The funding is part of the health insurer’s push to get members to receive fully covered preventative screening as well as to support screening for those without insurance, according to the release. This year, BlueCross is partnering with S.C. Gastroenterology Association and CVS Caremark for the campaign.

In previous year, the BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina Foundation has funded screenings for the uninsured in Anderson, Abbeville, Laurens and Greenwood counties, according to the release.
