15504 Needs Treatment Requirement
The woman must need treatment for breast or cervical cancer. The woman meets this requirement when it is the opinion of the woman's treating health professional that the diagnostic test following a breast or cervical cancer screen indicates that the woman is in need of cancer treatment services. These services included diagnostic services that may be necessary to determine the extent and proper course of treatment, as well as treatment itself.
Based on the physician's plan-of-care, a woman who is determined to require only routine monitoring services for a pre-cancerous breast or cervical condition (such as breast examination and mammograms) is not considered to need treatment.
