Listed within these resources are HRSA federally funded health centers which offer medical services to individuals even if they don't have insurance.  Services are provided on fees based upon an ability to pay.  It is important for those who have Lynch syndrome to realize there are resources for cancer screening, once diagnosed.

The HRSA facilities are family health centers and are often operated by general practitioners and women's medical health professionals.  It is important to use these facilities in a manner of first consulting the GP and providing him with the family history for assessment.  The GP will then order specific testing and make referrals as needed, to other facilities which offer services which are provided on fees based upon an ability to pay.

As well, resources include the CDC and other states' Colonoscopy programs, which are also provided with fees which are based upon an ability to pay.

disability insurance, shall fail or refuse to accept an application

or issue or cancel that insurance, under conditions less favorable
to the insured than in other comparable cases, except for reasons
applicable alike to persons of every race, color, religion, sex,
national origin, ancestry, or sexual orientation. Race, color,

objective, valid, and up-to-date statistical and actuarial data or
sound underwriting practices are not prohibited.

licensed to issue disability insurance policies for hospital,

insurance to an applicant therefor, cancel that insurance, refuse to
renew that insurance, charge a higher rate or premium for that
insurance, or offer or provide different terms, conditions, or
benefits, or place a limitation on coverage under that insurance, on
the basis of a person's genetic characteristics that may, under some
circumstances, be associated with disability in that person or that
person's offspring.
(c) No admitted insurer, licensed to issue disability insurance
for hospital, medical, and surgical expenses, shall seek information
about a person's genetic characteristics for any nontherapeutic
purpose.
(d) No discrimination shall be made in the fees or commissions of

Listed within these resources are HRSA federally funded health centers which offer medical services to individuals even if they don't have insurance.  Services are provided on fees based upon an ability to pay.  It is important for those who have Lynch syndrome to realize there are resources for cancer screening, once diagnosed.

The HRSA facilities are family health centers and are often operated by general practitioners and womens medical health professionals.  It is important to use these facilities in a manner of first consulting the GP and providing him with the family history for assessment.  The GP will then order specific testing and make referrals as needed, to other facilities which offer services which are provided on fees based upon an ability to pay.

As well, resources include the CDC and other states' Colonoscopy programs, which are also provided with fees which are based upon an ability to pay.
