Clarifying information
The Department of Health (DOH) administers and determines eligibility for the CDC-BCCEDP program for the State of Washington through their Breast and Cervical Health Program. Although men may be diagnosed with breast cancer, the federal requirements of this program limit medical coverage for individuals whose sex assigned at birth is female.
This program provides breast and cervical cancer screening services for low-income individuals. In addition, CDC directly contracts with certain tribal entities for this screening service.
Access to this program is only available through the above channels. When an individual meets the eligibility criteria, prime contractors (via CDC-BCCEDP facilities) fax the DOH 345-214 consent form/application to Medical Eligibility Determination Services (MEDS) eligibility staff to screen, process, and maintain the S30 program in ACES.
Individuals not eligible for BCCTP due to citizenship or immigration status requirements (described in WAC 182-505-0120(1), are eligible for medical coverage under the Alien Emergency Medical Program rules. Individuals related to the BCCTP Medicaid program who require cancer treatment meet AEM condition criteria.
