You will get screened for breast and cervical cancer. Following this visit the
woman will be scheduled for a mammogram at one of the local mammography facilities.
If you have an abnormal breast or cervical screening test, our program will
pay for diagnostic services with breast and cervical health care specialist. If
you are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer, you may be eligible for free
cancer treatment through the state Medicaid program. The case manager will
assist you in enrolling in the Medicaid program when you give consent for
treatment/care. The Florida Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (FBCCP) is a
volunteer program, and you may choose to drop out at anytime.

We strive to make the community aware of breast and cervical cancer,
and that early detection is the key, and we are available to come
out to your agencies and provide educational programs to the public
as well as health professionals.
