- The New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection Screening Program (NJCEED) provides qualified men and women with comprehensive screening services for breast, cervical, prostate, and colorectal cancer.
- In order to be eligible for screening through the NJCEED, you must be between the ages of 17 and 65, a New Jersey resident, have no insurance or limited insurance and have an income under 250% of the federal poverty level.
- If you’re a woman screened through NJCEED and diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer, you may be eligible for treatment through Medicaid. If eligible, you will continue to be eligible for treatment through the duration of your cancer treatment. In addition, Medicaid will cover all of your medical needs including treatment for non-cancer related medical services.
