If you are interested in receiving breast, cervical or colorectal cancer screening, or have questions call Sage at 1-888-643-2584 to see if you are eligible.
1 Sage age eligibility guidelines for breast and cervical cancer screening will be reviewed June 2023.
2 Age exceptions for breast services: If a woman under 40 has breast symptoms or a family history of breast cancer (self, parent, sibling, child) Sage may cover her office visit and any other breast screening testing. If further follow-up is needed, the woman could also have a diagnostic mammogram, breast ultrasound, breast surgical consult or outpatient breast biopsy.
3 Program income guidelines are based on the Federal Poverty Level. This is updated annually at the end of January. Sage's prior year guidelines remain in effect until then.
