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.
