Question: I don't have health insurance. How will I pay for breast cancer treatment?
Answer: Several government and private organizations help people without medical insurance to pay for treatment:
Begin by contacting the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). They have information about how to get free mammograms, Pap smears, and treatment.
Call your local Social Services Department. You may be eligible for Medicaid or other programs for low-income women.
Call your local Public Health Department to find out about local health care programs.
Many hospitals run free clinics where they provide medical care at no or low cost.
Contact the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation or the American Cancer Society.
