641—10.8(135) Colorectal cancer treatment. The IGS program does not pay for colorectal cancer treatment services. If a participant needs treatment, the local program coordinator will refer the participant to an American Cancer Society patient navigator to identify and coordinate resources for the participant who may require physical, emotional, financial or other support through the cancer journey. The patient navigator and IGS program staff will work together to assist a participant needing treatment. It is an expectation of the cooperative agreement that a participant gets help obtaining treatment services free or at an affordable cost based on the participant’s annual income and ability to pay for the services.
