Iowa Admin. Code r. 641-10.1 - Purpose
The Iowa get screened (IGS): colorectal cancer program is administered by the department. The goal of the IGS program is to reduce the incidence, mortality and prevalence of colorectal cancer in Iowa by increasing the number of men and women who receive colorectal cancer screenings. Through the program, colorectal cancer screenings, including but not limited to fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) and colonoscopies, are provided to eligible Iowans. Along with providing screenings, the program also facilitates supportive services and referral for diagnosis and treatment to Iowans with abnormal screening results. Iowans who are eligible to enter the program must be 45 to 75 years of age, be underinsured or uninsured, have incomes of up to 300 percent of the federal poverty level (FPL) and have an average or increased risk for developing colorectal cancer.
