El Centro Nacional de Detección Temprana del Cáncer de Mama y de Cuello Uterino de los Centros para el Control y la Prevención de Enfermedades (CDC) ofrece servicios especializados para pruebas de detección y diagnóstico dirigidos a mujeres que no cuentan con seguro médico o cuya cobertura es insuficiente. Este programa está diseñado para facilitar el acceso a estas pruebas a quienes más lo necesitan.
La información proviene directamente del portal web oficial de los CDC, institución encargada de brindar detalles completos sobre los criterios de elegibilidad para acceder a estas pruebas.
Requisitos para acceder a las pruebas
Las mujeres pueden acceder a pruebas gratuitas o de bajo costo si no tienen seguro médico o si su seguro no cubre los exámenes. También es necesario que sus ingresos anuales sean en un 250% o menos respecto al nivel de pobreza federal. Además, la edad debe estar comprendida entre 40 y 64 años para las pruebas relacionadas con el cáncer de mama, o entre 21 y 64 años para el cáncer de cuello uterino. Algunos casos particulares de mujeres más jóvenes o mayores pueden ser evaluados para la prestación de estos servicios.
Servicios ofrecidos y lugares de contacto por estado
El programa cubre pruebas como mamografías, exámenes pélvicos, pruebas del VPH y de Papanicolaou. Estos servicios se brindan a través de los departamentos estatales y locales de salud pública, incluyendo organizaciones tribales y territorios estadounidenses. El programa ha ayudado a millones de mujeres a lo largo de todo el país, facilitando detecciones tempranas que permiten intervenciones oportunas.
La aprobación para acceder a las pruebas puede requerir un proceso de solicitud a través de los departamentos de salud locales, y en algunos lugares se ofrece asistencia en transporte o educación sobre el cáncer para las personas calificadas.
