Women, ages 40-64 band together, wear pink, and walk to aid in raising funds to find a cure for breast cancer. The Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation Program (BC3NP) provides low-income women access to breast and cervical cancer screening services (mammograms and Pap tests) and follow-up care if needed.
The program does not pay for cancer treatment, but women may be eligible for a special Medicaid program through BC3NP that will cover cancer treatment.
Below are links to various aspects of our program. If you are not able to find what you are looking for, please email us at BC3NP@michigan.gov. Call 844-446-8727 (TTY 711) if you have questions or need help enrolling. Interpreters available.
Are you worried that you can't afford your mammogram or Pap test? Or even worse — are you worried you can't afford the follow-up care? If you are 21-64 years old (for cervical cancer screening) or 40-64 years old (for breast cancer screening), a resident of Michigan, and within the income guidelines below, call your local Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Navigation Program to see how we can help you.
Check eligibility and find a local coordinating agency
Through these local public health programs, women aged 21-64 can receive screening services, such as:
If a breast and/or cervical abnormality is identified from the screening test/exam, the woman will be referred to community providers for follow-up. Over 75 diagnostic services are provided free of cost through the BC3NP. Some of these include:
Family Planning women enrolled in the BC3NP are eligible to receive cervical screening and diagnostic services.
Screening Mammography In the event of a diagnosis of breast or cervical cancer through the BC3NP, a woman may be eligible for Medicaid coverage. If eligible, Medicaid will pay for all of her medical expenses for as long as she is being treated for the cancer. Once treatment is no longer needed, the woman is then potentially eligible (once again, based upon age and income) for continued annual screening services through the BC3NP.
A woman remains eligible for Medicaid coverage until:
Note: Women who are undocumented, although eligible for BC3NP services, cannot receive Medicaid coverage. Federal law limits Medicaid coverage to citizens and documented women.
The BC3NP is a federal program funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and is administered by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
Those who are eligible for the BC3NP include women; transgender or gender nonconforming (taken from CDC guidance), who are uninsured or underinsured, at or below 250% of the federal poverty guidelines, ages 40 to 64 years for breast cancer services and ages 21 to 64 years for cervical cancer services.
Eligible clients who will benefit from this program include those who are at increased risk of breast and/or cervical cancer and who need preventive health screenings as part of their wellness routine.
The following information MUST be determined PRIOR to enrolling women in BC3NP.
Note: Women who are enrolled in a managed care program, a health maintenance organization, or Medicare Part B are not eligible for the BC3NP.
