Insurance or no insurance, individuals may be eligible for financial help for cancer screening services.
When a person is in need of cancer screening, they should not have to worry about how to pay for care. As a Washington state resident, you may be eligible for free breast and cervical cancer screening and diagnostic services through Washington state’s Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program (BCCHP) program.
As of June 2022, Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) no longer administers these services in the eight-county region previously served by SRHD. If you are an existing client, your services have been transitioned to the Yakima Health District. You should not experience any lapse in coverage or services.
For a referral to a clinic near you or for more information, call the Yakima Health District:
The BCCHP in Washington state is administered by Washington state DOH, through six regional organizations. If you are interested in learning more about the program, your eligibility or services offered, please contact DOH at 1.888.438.2247.
Eligible patients in Washington state may be able to receive free screening and diagnostic services for breast and cervical cancer through the BCCHP. Assistance may include health exams, screenings, limited diagnostic testing, education, and access to treatment. Individuals with or without health insurance may be eligible to apply.
For purchase of specialized breast cancer license plates, contact the Department of Licensing for details. A portion of
the proceeds from license plate sales go toward free breast cancer screening
services, including mammograms and follow-up testing for eligible people with a
low income through the Department of Health's Breast, Cervical and Colon Health Program.
