(a) The Breast and Cervical Cancer Prevention and Treatment Act of 2000 (BCCPTA) allows states to provide Medicaid to uninsured women under age 65 who are in need of treatment for breast and/or cervical cancer. Medical eligibility is determined through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) as needing treatment for breast and/or cervical cancer, including pre‑cancerous conditions and early stage, recurrent or metastatic cancer.
(b) To receive Breast and Cervical Cancer (BCC) Treatment services, the woman must meet all of the following conditions.
-
(1) The woman must have been screened for BCC under the CDC Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (see OAC 317:35‑21‑3) established under Title XV of the Public Health Service (PHS) Act, and found to be in need of treatment, including abnormal finding on screening examination, precancerous conditions and early stage, recurrent or metastatic cancer (see OAC 317:35‑21‑5).
-
(2) The woman must:
-
(A) not have creditable insurance coverage that covers BCC (see OAC 317:35‑21‑4),
-
(B) not be eligible for any other categorically needy Medicaid eligibility group,
-
(C) be under 65 years of age,
-
(D) be a US citizen or qualified alien (see OAC 317:35-5-25 for citizenship/alien status and identity verification requirements),
-
(E) be a resident of Oklahoma,
-
(F) declare her Social Security number,
-
(G) assign her rights to Third Party Liability if she has insurance that is not creditable, and
-
(H) declare her household income for the purpose of determining that she is not otherwise eligible for Medicaid. For the BCC treatment program, income is not a condition of eligibility and verification of income is not required.
