10 The Kentucky Women s Cancer Screening Program (KWCSP) targets rarely or never before screened women for tests that screen for breast and cervical cancer. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer in women with the exception of skin cancer. Women should get annual exams from their health care provider and conduct regular self breast exams. Mammograms (breast X-rays) are recommended for women at certain ages. Cervical cancer has been dramatically reduced since the invention of the Pap smear, a screening tool that tests for changes or irregular cells on the cervix (the opening to the womb). Women should receive Pap smears regularly. Talk to your health care provider. The KWCSP offers low cost mammograms and Pap tests through local health departments in every county. If cancer or precancer is found, treatment services are available. Three factors determine eligibility for breast cancer and cervical cancer screening: Age No private health insurance (no Medicaid or Medicare). Income less than 250 percent of the federal poverty guidelines. Make an appointment by calling your local health department. Women screened at a local health department and found to need treatment for breast or cervical cancer may qualify to receive treatment through Kentucky Medicaid Services.

12 Program Eligibility If you are a woman between the ages of 21 and 64, uninsured or underinsured, and below 250 percent of the federal poverty level, you may qualify to receive a low-cost breast and cervical cancer screening exam at your local health department. This exam includes a physical, pelvic and clinical breast exam. Based on your medical history and age you may receive a Pap smear and/or referral for a mammogram. These services are provided to you on a sliding fee schedule based on your income. Human Papillomavirus (HPV) HPV is the most common sexually transmitted infection. HPV is a common virus that is passed on through genital contact, most often during sex. Virtually all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV infection. There are now vaccines that prevent the most common types of HPV that cause cervical cancer and genital warts. The vaccine is for women and girls of a certain age. Talk to your health care provider or local health department about the HPV vaccine. These vaccines may be available at your local health department. For more information about the vaccine, call your health care provider or local health department. Call your local health department to schedule an appointment. Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP) Kentucky Medicaid provides cancer treatment for eligible low-income Kentucky women through BCCTP who are screened or diagnosed by the KWCSP and found to be in need of treatment for breast and/or cervical cancer. Not sure if you qualify for services? Call your local health department for more information. You must have been screened or diagnosed at a local health department to qualify for the BCCTP. To learn more about getting screened, call your local health department.
