JOIN THE NETWORK OF EVERY WOMAN’S LIFE PROVIDERS

By becoming an Every Woman’s Life provider, you are providing a valuable service to uninsured women in your community. In addition to the satisfaction you will feel by providing these services to these women, there are also several ways that YOU can benefit by being an Every Woman’s Lide provider. Some of these benefits to you include:

• Presenting your facility or practice as community minded and dedicated to serving women in need.
• Increasing potential for new clients and practice growth. Since most women make health care decisions for their families, gaining the trust of one woman may now mean gaining the trust of her entire family later.
• Opportunity for potential revenue: For women aged 18-39, the reimbursement rate is $400 per woman receiving services ($450 for the Counties of Fairfax and Arlington and the City of Alexandria). For women aged 40-64, the reimbursement rate is $320 per woman ($350 for the Counties of Fairfax and Arlington and the City of Alexandria).
• If cancer is detected in women screened through Every Woman’s Life, treatment is covered through the Breast and Cervical Prevention and Treatment Act. As of 2001, this legislation has made it possible for most Every Woman’s Life clients who are diagnosed with breast or cervical cancer to receive Medicaid benefits for the duration of their treatment.
• The State Every Woman’s Life office provides generous technical support to ensure that program operations run smoothly. A Registered Nurse, Health Education/Communication Coordinator, Data Manager, and Program Director are all available during regular business hours to answer any questions that may arise.

If you are interested in joining us in our mission, please contact Kathy Rocco, Program Director at 804-864-7756 or email Kathy.rocco@vdh.virginia.gov.
