NuHealth’s healthcare information regarding the breast screening program:

• Women who are covered by insurance, Medicaid or Medicare will have their carrier billed and must bring their information card to the screening, along with a prescription from their physician. NuHealth policy requires patients to be responsible for any co-pays charged by their carrier.
• Women 40 and older without health insurance may be eligible for the Cancer Screening Grant Program which covers the cost of screening and follow up if necessary.
