2693.1 Screening Requirement

In order to be eligible under this category, a screening by the specific CDC program indicated above must be completed. Currently, Early Detection Works, with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment is the only CDC entity in Kansas. Regional case managers located in the county health departments are responsible for enrollment into Early Detection Works. Screening by an approved CDC entity in another state will also meet this requirement. The Early Detection Works program applies certain eligibility requirements for entrance into the program. In 2006, only women ages 40-65 with incomes under 250% of poverty were eligible for Early Detection Works. Men are not eligible for the CDC screening. The case manager with the local health department is responsible for verifying enrollment into Early Detection Works by providing the eligibility worker with a copy of the approved Intake and Visit Summary document.
