Abstract
Action Requested: Vote on a request to accept $1,425.00 Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) additional Funds
Introduction & Background: The LHD shall assist eligible women with a breast or cervical cancer diagnosis with applying for BCCM. Providers are no longer required to provide a screening or diagnostic work-up for patients to apply for BCCM.
Discussion & Analysis: Women diagnosed outside of NC BCCCP with breast and/or cervical cancer and/or pre-cancerous lesions with a diagnosis that is less than three months prior to the date of BCCM application, and who meet NC BCCCP eligibility criteria may receive Patient Navigation-only (PN-only) services by a BCCCP provider to apply for BCCM. Patients who receive PN-only services to apply for BCCM will count as a PN-only target and the LHD will be eligible to receive $50 per capita reimbursement for providing this service. LHDs are not allowed to draw down funding for Patient Navigation-only services in addition to screening/diagnostic service target funding.
How does this relate to the Comprehensive Plan: N/A
Budgetary Impact: No Funding Requested.
Recommendation: Vote on a request to accept $1,425.00 Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program (BCCCP) additional Funds
