Free Mammography for Qualifying Women
The State of Alaska pays for approved breast and cervical health screenings for eligible women statewide with its Breast and Cervical Health Check program (BCHC). BCHC pays for clinical breast exams, pelvic exams, Pap test and screening and diagnostic mammograms appropriate to your age and medical history. BCHC can pay for approved screening exams. If any exam results are abnormal, BCHC can also pay for approved diagnostic tests to rule out problems, including cancer.
Providence Imaging Center is proud to partner with BCHC by providing services to hundreds of qualifying Alaskan women. Simply ask one of our friendly schedulers for more information, or let BCHC know that you would like to have a mammogram scheduled with us. Their helpful staff will quickly determine if you are eligible for funds. Many women who are uninsured or underinsured have received help. BCHC's toll-free number is (800) 410-6266.
