FAQs

What is the Let No Woman Be Overlooked Breast and Cervical Cancer Program?
This program provides FREE breast and cervical cancer screenings to women who meet certain requirements. The screenings are offered at many health care sites, including CMC.

There is also an income guideline to qualify for services. Visit www.getscreenednh.com to learn more.

Who will do the exams?
All exams and tests will be done by qualified medical staff. Most of the screening sites have female doctors and nurse practitioners who do the exams.
I have a doctor that I go to, but I never have a Pap test or mammogram. Can I still get a FREE Pap test and mammogram?
Yes. When you go to your screening appointment, let the staff know who your regular doctor is and your records will be sent to that office.
What if something is found on my screening test? I have no health insurance to pay for treatment.
Screening sites will work with women to provide needed services. Most women with no health insurance, who are found to have breast or cervical cancer through the Let No Woman Be Overlooked Breast and Cervical Cancer Program, will be enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid will pay the cost of treatment.
