MO SB676

Establishes two prostate cancer pilot programs within the Department of Health and Senior Services, one located in an urban area and one in a rural area, subject to appropriations.

Eligibility includes uninsured men or economically challenged men (those with gross income up to 150% of federal poverty level) who are at least 50 years old, or those 35-49 years old at high risk for prostate cancer on physician's advice or individual request.

Programs shall provide prostate cancer screening, referral services for diagnosis, treatment services for diagnosed individuals, and outreach and education activities to uninsured and economically challenged men.

Department shall distribute grants to local health departments and federally qualified health centers to administer the programs.

Department must report to the governor and general assembly three years after grants are first administered, including number of individuals screened and treated with racial and ethnic data, and any cost savings from early detection.

Program automatically sunsets six years after the effective date unless reauthorized by the general assembly.
