Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) considered whether to reimburse stool DNA testing for colorectal cancer screening among Medicare enrollees. To evaluate the conditions under which stool DNA testing could be cost-effective compared with the colorectal cancer screening tests currently reimbursed by CMS. Comparative microsimulation modeling study using two independently-developed models. Derived from literature. 65-year-old (Medicare eligible) individuals; 50-year old individuals as sensitivity analysis. Lifetime. Third-party payer. Stool DNA test every 3 or 5 years in comparison to currently-recommended colorectal cancer screening strategies. Life expectancy, lifetime costs, incremental cost-effectiveness ratios, threshold costs. Assuming a cost of $350 per test, strategies of stool DNA testing every 3 or 5 years yielded fewer life-years and higher costs than the currently recommended colorectal cancer screening strategies. Screening with the stool DNA test would be cost-effective at per-test cost of $40 to $60 for 3-yearly stool DNA testing, depending on the simulation model used. There were no levels of sensitivity and specificity for which stool DNA testing would be cost-effective at its current cost of $350 per test. Stool DNA testing at 3-yearly intervals would be cost-effective at a cost of $350 per test if the relative adherence with stool DNA testing were at least 50% better than with other screening tests. None of the above mentioned results changed significantly when considering a 50-year old cohort. We did not model other pathways than the traditional adenoma-carcinoma sequence. Only if a significant reduction can be made to the test cost or if its availability would entice a large fraction of otherwise unscreened persons to be screened will stool DNA testing be a cost-effective alternative for colorectal cancer screening.
