University of Utah Health Plans continues its partnership with Previon Inc. to provide convenient at-home colorectal cancer screening through mail-delivered FIT (Fecal Immunochemical Test) kits. 

Our plan improved screening rates for colorectal cancer (CRC) across all member products, and we are excited to expand this outreach effort to even more members this year.

This program offers members the opportunity to complete their colorectal cancer screening from the comfort of their homes with a simple mail-in return process. Our goal is to increase screening rates through at-home testing while preserving diagnostic resources for those who may test positive and require follow-up care.

This initiative directly supports Governor Cox's One Utah Health Collaborative efforts to improve health outcomes across our state. Increasing colorectal cancer screening rates has been identified as a key priority. This statewide partnership represents a significant step forward in making preventive care more accessible and improving health outcomes for the people of Utah.

The mail-based FIT testing program eliminates common barriers to screening, including transportation challenges and scheduling conflicts, while maintaining the high-quality standards our providers and members expect. We anticipate this convenient screening option will help increase participation rates and support early detection efforts across our covered population.
