You may be caring for a UnitedHealthcare Commercial member who has received a Fecal Immunochemical Test (FIT), or a letter or email encouraging them to order a FIT kit. This correspondence has occurred as part of our 2022 FIT In-Home Colorectal Cancer Screening outreach program.

Outreach process

Members that opt-in to the program must use their personal invitation code included in the email or letter.
Members are reminded by a letter if they haven’t returned the kit in 30 days. Once completed and returned, the results are sent to the member and their physician on file. Members with a positive or abnormal test result will also receive a live follow-up call from a BioIQ contracted nurse or a certified letter.
