DEPARTMENT POLICY MA The Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program (BCCPTP) is a Group 1 Medicaid category for women. The Department of Health Health and Human Services/ Medical Services Administration (MSA)is responsible for establishing Medicaid under this category. This category is not included on the priority lists in BEM 105 because MDHHS does not determine eligibility. Eligibility is related to screening through a health department program called the Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program. Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program is a health department program.The program may be more commonly known as the breast and cervical screening program. People seeking screening should refer to the name Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program or the Breast and Cervical Screening Program. Do not use the Medicaid category name to refer to the health department program, even though this program provides complete Medicaid coverage to the client. Not all local heath departments participate and there are sites enrolled in the program that are not local health departments. A woman may request screening from a participating agency if her local health department does not participate. More information about the health department program through the MDHHS website.
