Key PointsQuestion  Is there variation in the diagnostic test completion rate and in the time to diagnostic workup among veterans younger than 50 years with iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) and/or hematochezia? Findings  In this cohort study of veterans with IDA and/or hematochezia, diagnostic testing rates were low. Diagnostic testing was less likely among female, Black, and Hispanic veterans with IDA and Hispanic veterans with hematochezia.
