About BCCP (Breast and Cervical Cancer Program)

The BCCP is a statewide, high-quality breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic program offered at no cost to eligible women in Ohio. Eligible women will be scheduled for services with providers in their area. The services include:

• Pelvic exams

• Pap tests

• Clinical breast exams

• Mammograms

• Case management

• Diagnostic testing, including biopsy and ultrasound (if needed)

Women are eligible for screening and diagnostic services if they meet the following:

• Live in households with incomes less than 200% of the federal poverty level

• They have no insurance

• Are 40 years of age or older for Pap tests, pelvic exams and clinical breast exams

• Are 50 years of age or older for mammograms

If you don't meet these guidelines, and you live in Licking County, you may still be eligible to receive services through the SASS program.

What if I am diagnosed with cancer through the BCCP?

Women who have been screened for breast or cervical cancer through the BCCP and are found to need treatment for breast or cervical cancer (or pre-cancerous conditions) are eligible to apply for BCCP Medicaid, which provides Medicaid coverage for their cancer treatment and other health care needs.

If you live in BCCP Region 6, including Union, Delaware, Licking, Fairfield, Franklin, Pickaway, Fayette, and Madison counties, call the Licking County Health Department's BCCP staff at 1-866-418-4963 for more information.
