Health and Community Services
Serves as Local Coordinating Agency for
Southwest Michigan Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP)
For those who qualify, BCCCP offers:
FREE:
Medical office visit including a Clinical Breast Exam, and Pelvic Exam.
A Pap Test may be done during the office visit if/when it is due.
A Mammogram without Computer Aided Detection (CAD). If CAD is used to read the mammogram, this charge might be billed to the patient.
REDUCED COST:
Many follow-up tests are usually paid, such as diagnostic mammogram, breast ultrasound, surgeon consult or gynecology consult.
When a biopsy is needed, BCCCP can pay only the doctor's services. The patient is responsible for facility or hospital fees. Many women qualify for financial help for these fees, but you must apply for help at the hospital or facility.
