What does it cover? 

• Annual clinical breast examination (CBE);
• Annual screening mammogram;
• Pap test once every three years, or once every five years if HPV co-testing is performed;
• Diagnostic services, if needed.

Most mammograms and Pap tests are normal. However, any problems found are much easier to treat when discovered early.

Changes in the cervix can be found even before cancer develops. That’s why it is important not to wait to be tested.

Be Secure. Be Sure.
