Establishes a three-year pilot program within the Bureau for Public Health to provide colorectal cancer screening, diagnostic colonoscopies, and treatment for unserved populations in West Virginia

Patients must be 45-64 years old, West Virginia residents, with income at or below 300% of the federal poverty level, and have tested positive on a stool-based screening test or show symptoms requiring diagnostic colonoscopy

Creates a fund of $500,000 annually to cover pre-visit consultations, physician fees, facility fees, polyp removal, and pathology at no cost to eligible patients

Reimbursement to providers cannot exceed current Medicare rates, and the fund serves as payor of last resort
