Breast and Cervical Cancer Services

Eligibility

What if I have Medicaid?

You are not eligible for BCCS if you have Medicaid.

How will I know if I'm covered by the Breast and Cervical Cancer Services program?

The staff at a Breast and Cervical Cancer Services clinic will meet with you onsite to determine your eligibility. They may be able to confirm your eligibility the same day and provide you with approved services.

How long will I get services?

Services continue as long as you maintain eligibility requirements.

If you meet the qualifications, use the Find a Doctor tool on the right to find a clinic near you. Make an appointment, and the staff will meet with you at the clinic to see if you are eligible.

• Live in Texas.
• Do not have health insurance or are underinsured.
• Have a household income that is the same as or less than 200 percent of the amount allowed for your household shown in the Federal Poverty Guidelines.
