IMPACT: California's Prostate Cancer Treatment Program

IMPACT is a state funded program whose mission it is to provide high quality prostate cancer treatment to Californians who are low income and uninsured. In order to qualify for free prostate cancer treatment through IMPACT, a patient must have a positive biopsy for prostate cancer; have no current insurance coverage except CMSP (including Medicaid or Medicare), and be low income. Potentially eligible patients may be referred to IMPACT at 1-800-409-8252. IMPACT's eligibility staff will take it from there.

Please contact Rick Edmiston, MPH, at (415) 353-7390 or rick.edmiston@ucsfmedctr.org, to discuss referrals.

IMPACT thanks to ANCO for helping spread the word about California’s free prostate cancer treatment program.
