Can I qualify for Medi-Cals Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP) if I have private health coverage?
Yes. Enrollment in private health coverage will not jeopardize your participation in Medi-Cal’s Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program. Obtaining private health coverage may enable you to access providers or services you may not have available to you on Medi-Cal alone. If you have private health coverage and are eligible for the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program, you may qualify for the Health Insurance Premium Payment program (Medi-Cal/HIPP) that can cover your insurance premiums. Medi-Cal/HIPP will pay your premiums when: • the health insurance premium, co-payment, and/or deductible costs total $750.00 or more annually; and • the health insurance coverage is necessary to access cancer treatment. When using private health coverage and Medi-Cal simultaneously, the private health coverage pays for medical services first. Thereafter, Medi-Cal pays for any other uncovered services.
