This group includes uninsured women who are identified through the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) and are in need for treatment for breast or cervical cancer, including pre-cancerous conditions and early stage cancer. 15600.1 Definitions The following words and terms, when used in the context of these policies, will have the following meaning unless the context clearly indicates otherwise: “Comprehensive health insurance” means a benefit package comparable in scope to the "basic" benefit package required by the State of Delaware's Small Employer Health Insurance Act at Title 18, Chapter 72 of the Delaware Code. To be considered comprehensive health insurance, the benefits package must cover hospital and physician services, laboratory and radiology, and must include coverage for the treatment of breast and cervical cancer. Comprehensive health insurance does not include time periods when there is no coverage for the treatment of breast or cervical cancer. Examples include when coverage is effective only after a waiting period of uninsurance or after the lifetime limits are exhausted. Comprehensive health insurance does include insurance that has limits on benefits (such as limits on the number of outpatient visits per year) or high deductibles. 15600.2 Breast and Cervical Cancer Group General Eligibility Requirements A woman must meet the general eligibility requirements described in Section 14000. 15600.3 Technical Eligibility Age: The woman must be under age 65.
