The Sage Screening Program (formerly the Minnesota Breast and Cervical Cancer Control Program) is a statewide comprehensive breast and cervical cancer screening program that provides free screening and follow-up services to eligible Minnesota residents.

• To be eligible for the Sage Screening Program, you must be 40 or older, have no insurance or be underinsured, and your income must fall below 250% of the federal poverty line. For example, for a family of three, the monthly income would be $3,458. There are, however, exceptions to the age requirement. If a woman younger than 40 is determined by a clinician to be at a higher risk for breast cancer, then she may be eligible for a free mammogram and follow-up services, if they are needed.
• If you are diagnosed with breast and/or cervical cancer through the screening program, you may be eligible for free health coverage through the Medicaid program. If eligible, Medicaid will cover all your medical costs.
