03-14: New Agency BCCP and Issue Code 217: Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program Coding (05/23/03)

This transmittal announced that new Fair Hearing Information System (FHIS) agency codes and a new issue code have been developed for the Breast and Cervical Cancer Treatment Program (BCCP) administered by the New York State Department of Health (DOH).

The BCCP is a program for women of any age and men over 65 years of age who meet certain income criteria, are not covered by other health insurance, and need treatment for breast or cervical cancer. DOH's Office of Medicaid Management (OMM) has responsibility for making a final determination of eligibility and sending appropriate notice to the client. If the client is determined eligible for Medicaid under one of the Medicaid Mandatory Categorical groups, they are not eligible for the BCCP.

The new FHIS agency codes are:

LDSS/BCCP (Upstate);

NMAP/BCCP (NYC)

The new FHIS Issue Code is: 217 (Breast and Cervical Cancer Program).
