The Breast Cancer Understanding Prevention and Screening (B.C.U.P.S.) program is in place to financially assist patients in acquiring important screening mammograms and diagnostic testing services. For patients that have been diagnosed with breast cancer and are undergoing treatment, B.C.U.P.S. provides grant funding and patients are eligible to reapply for funding every 6 months. The B.C.U.P.S. program is available based upon current funding.
The B.C.U.P.S. program provides free 3D mammogram screenings for patients that do not have health insurance coverage or those who are underinsured (limitations with coverage, large out-of-pocket deductible, etc.).
To find out if you qualify, please call 989-635-4299.
Patients that need further diagnostic testing services such as a diagnostic mammogram, breast ultrasound, or an ultrasound-guided breast biopsy may be eligible for financial assistance if they do not have health insurance coverage or are underinsured (limitations with coverage, large out-of-pocket deductible, etc.).

Screening mammograms and diagnostic testing services provided through the B.C.U.P.S. program are performed at the Marlette Regional Hospital Gordon and Gayle Miller Foundation Women’s Imaging Center.
B.C.U.P.S. provides $500 in financial assistance for those undergoing treatment for breast cancer, and patients are eligible to reapply for funding every 6 months.
