Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition
Our partners at the Pennsylvania Breast Cancer Coalition have created some very helpful FREE resources for breast cancer patients and their support teams:
“Breast Cancer: Covered or Not?” Book
If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer, all of your energy needs to be directed toward the critical processes of treatment and recovery. This PBCC book was written to clearly define health insurance options and to guide readers to a better understanding of what’s covered and what’s not, making it easier for them to concentrate on healing.
Free Treatment for Breast Cancer
Because of the efforts of the PBCC and their grassroots advocates, uninsured Pennsylvania women of low or moderate income who are diagnosed with breast cancer can get free treatment through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program. Women who qualify for this coverage can receive free healthcare (except for nominal copayments) throughout their courses of treatment for cancer or a pre-cancerous condition of the breast or cervix. Coverage also includes medical needs unrelated to a cancer diagnosis.
If you’ve been diagnosed with breast cancer and need FREE TREATMENT, call the PA Department of Health’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program
at 800.215.7494.
