The goal of the Louisiana Breast and Cervical Health Program (LBCHP) is to prevent unnecessary disease, disability, or premature death due to cancer of the breast and cervix in women who live in Louisiana.

To accomplish this, LBCHP provides quality, no-cost breast exams, mammograms, and pap smears to women who qualify.

Women must meet ALL of the following guidelines in order to be enrolled in LBCHP:

• Must be ages 40 to 64 or experiencing problems

• Must have no insurance or be underinsured

• Must meet an income requirement

  • You must make less than the ‘Annual’ or the ‘Monthly’ income next to your ‘Family Size’. We DO NOT REQUIRE PROOF OF INCOME for program participants. The Federal Poverty Level and the LBCHP's maximum allowable income are adjusted annually.

    FAMILY SIZE	ANNUAL*	MONTHLY
    1	26,000	2,166
    2	35,000	2,916
