Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment
The Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment (BCCPT) program is administered by the Department of Human Services and provides full health care benefits to individuals needing treatment for breast or cervical cancer, or a pre-cancerous condition of the breast or cervix.
To qualify the individual must:
Be uninsured or have no credible health insurance
Be under age 65
Be a U.S. citizen or qualified non-citizen
Be a Pennsylvania resident
Provide or apply for a social security number
Individuals who qualify for this coverage can receive free health care, including health care for medical needs unrelated to a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis, throughout the course of treatment for cancer or a pre-cancerous condition of the breast or cervix.
Individuals can apply for BCCPT one of two ways:
Screened/Diagnosed via PA-BCCEDP
Be screened and/or diagnosed with cancer through a Pennsylvania Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (PA-BCCEDP) provider. Individuals can call 1-800-215-7494 to see if they qualify for PA-BCCEDP and find a provider in their area.
