BCCTP News
As of January 1, 2022, the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) expanded the CWM (Citizenship Waived Medical) benefit package to include cancer treatment as an emergency service. This change allows CWM members in need of breast or cervical cancer treatment access to care through OHP (Oregon Health Plan). This network of providers includes care through the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCTP). BCCTP provides eligible individuals with medical assistance to cover treatment for qualifying breast or cervical cancer diagnoses.
