Strategic Partnership Provides Lifesaving Patient Care
Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation and VCU Health Partner to Provide Lifesaving Breast Cancer Screenings and Diagnostics
Richmond, VA - October 2024 - Patients across Virginia are one step closer to accessing critical breast health services, thanks to a new partnership between the Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation (VBCF) and VCU Health. VBCF is expanding its Screening and Diagnostic Services Fund to central Virginia to help low-income, uninsured, and underinsured individuals access essential services, including mammograms, biopsies, ultrasounds, and MRIs.
"Every week, I hear stories of individuals canceling diagnostic appointments due to financial concerns. One woman declined a diagnostic mammogram after learning she'd owe $1,500. Sadly, these financial barriers can lead to delayed diagnoses and more advanced, costlier treatments," said Dr. Priti Shah.
VBCF's Screening and Diagnostic Services Fund helps people who earn up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level, which is about $60,240 for one person or $124,800 for a family of four. The program works with local hospitals to provide services at Medicaid rates, ensuring that out-of-pocket health costs do not delay essential testing. Learn more about the VBCF Fund.
