Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Services

Screening Saves Lives!

The Montana Cancer Screening Program pays for breast and cervical cancer screenings for people who qualify based on age, income, and insurance status. Screening services include clinical breast exams, mammograms, and Pap tests. Diagnostic testing is provided for the follow-up of abnormal screening tests. We partner with local providers, which means that you can see whomever you want, and it will be just like a regular appointment.

Our staff is available to guide you through the screening process, even if you do not qualify based on age, income, and insurance status.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Over-the-Counter (OTC) Plan B Service

Q: Do you need an appointment?
A: No.

Q: How much does it cost?
A: Current price: $36.00 (subject to change without notice)
Payment methods: cash, debit, or credit card (No checks)

Q: When should it be taken?
A: Immediately after purchase for best results, unless purchased to have on hand for a future time. Otherwise, Plan B is most effective within the first 72 hours (3 days) after unprotected sex, but may be taken up to 120 hours (5 days). Keep in mind that the later Plan B is taken, the less effective it becomes.
Also remember that OTC Plan B does NOT protect against sexually transmitted infections or disease. FREE condoms are available at CMFP by the dozen, just ask for a bag at the window.

Central Montana Family Planning’s fees are based on income and family size.  We realize at times funds run low and in good faith we are willing to let our patients charge on their account.  Payment in full is expected at the time of receipt of services.

Family Planning does not encourage putting off health care because of a balance due, and we would never refuse service because of your inability to pay that day. 

If you have a balance due on your account you will be asked to pay at a minimum the cost of your services or supplies received that day.  If you are unable to pay anything at the time of service, it is allowable to offer a charge to your account of ONE dispensing of birth control at a time.

If you are unable to pay the previous or current balance in full, we are willing to work out payment arrangements.    We also will accept volunteer time to help alleviate any debt.

Family Planning sends out monthly statements around the 15th- 25th of each month.  There should be no surprises as to the amount due on any account.  We are willing to work with our patients.  Our patient charges are already at a discount. 

We ask that you afford us the same courtesy by trying to keep your account current. 

We aren’t here to make money, but we need money to stay here.

We recognize and respect the rights of each and every patient:

1. Services are received on a voluntary basis.
2. Individuals must not be subjected to coercion to receive services or to use or not use any
   particular method of family planning.
3. Unless a method is medically unsafe, the patient has a right to make a voluntary, unpressured decision regarding a method of family planning. The patient should make an informed decision.
4. Patients have a right to be treated with dignity in a private setting.
5. Patients have a right to complete confidentiality. No information obtained may be disclosed without the individuals written consent, except as required by law or as necessary to provide services to the individual, with the appropriate safeguards for confidentiality.
6. Each person has a right to Family Planning services regardless of financial or social status.  Family Planning is a right of each individual, including teenagers, prisoners, psychiatric patients, and indigent persons.
7. Every patient requires and deserves the clinician’s full attention given within an adequate period of time.
8. No person will be denied services due to their inability to pay.

We also do many fundraisers and outreach events to raise funds to financially assist those who have other unforeseen costs and to those that don't qualify by income.

In March we do a Leprechaun Bingo, in April we are busy planning for "May Pink Ribbon Month," in May we distribute materials to six counties, in September we attend the Metis Celebration and Chokecherry Festival, and in October we host a "Pink Tea" for 100+ women.
