Breast & Cervical Cancer Program

The Breast and Cervical Cancer program covers women who are under 65 years of age, uninsured, and have met screening criteria as set forth in the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP). The New Mexico Department of Health is responsible for verifying that women referred for treatment have met screening requirements that include an income test of 250% of the Federal Poverty Level Guidelines and diagnostic testing by a contracted CDC provider that results in a diagnosis of breast or cervical cancer including pre-cancerous conditions.
