FREE Treatment for Breast Cancer

FREE Treatment for Breast CancerNo Insurance? We've Got You Covered!


Today in Pennsylvania, because of the efforts of the PA Breast Cancer Coalition and our grassroots advocates, uninsured women of low or moderate income who are diagnosed with breast cancer can get FREE TREATMENT through the Commonwealth of PA's Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Program (BCCPT).  Women who qualify for this coverage can receive free healthcare (except for nominal copayments), including healthcare for medical needs unrelated to a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis, throughout their course of treatment for cancer or a pre-cancerous condition of the breast or cervix.

If you have been diagnosed with breast cancer and need FREE TREATMENT call the Pennsylvania Department of Health's HealthyWoman program at

1-800-215-7494.

To be eligible, you must:
     ~ be uninsured or underinsured
     ~ be a woman residing in PA who is a US citizen or an eligible alien
     ~ be under age 65
     ~ meet applicable income guidelines


The PBCC is thrilled to announce direct access to the BCCPT program thanks to the extraordinary efforts of both the PA Department of Health and the PA Department of Public Welfare.  Starting July 1, 2008, with direct access, more women are able to receive the treatment they need through the free treatment program. 


The PBCC holds seminars across the state to educate healthcare providers and the public about this program.  We have already held successful seminars in Philadelphia, Wilkes-Barre and Warrendale.  Watch for a schedule so you can attend a Free Treatment seminar in a city near you!
