MR #10.14: Health Benefits for Persons with Breast or Cervical Cancer (BCC)
5/21/2010
MR #10.14: Health Benefits for Persons with Breast or Cervical Cancer (BCC)
Summary:
The Illinois Breast and Cervical Cancer Program (IBCCP) offers free cervical and breast cancer screenings to uninsured women through the Illinois Department of Public Health (DPH).
Health Benefits for Persons with Breast or Cervical Cancer (BCC) is an HFS program that provides full medical coverage for persons who need treatment for breast or cervical cancer or a precancerous condition.
Uninsured persons in Illinois are eligible for BCC if they meet the non-financial criteria whether or not they were initially diagnosed through the IBCCP screening process and regardless of income.
Processing of BCC applications and maintenance of active cases is the responsibility of the HFS Breast and Cervical Cancer Eligibility Unit in Springfield.
BCC cases are category 93 with Local Office Number 189; the FCRC office number where the person lives appears in the RESIDENCE field.
Persons who require only routine monitoring services (for example, pap smears or mammograms) are not considered to need treatment.
SNAP benefits cannot be authorized on these cases.
