Details:
Brem Foundation champions early detection of breast cancer to improve health outcomes for all through innovation, education, equitable access, and targeted advocacy.
Brem Foundation helps women find breast cancer early, when it is most treatable and survival rates are highest. Brem’s B-Fund has historically paid for women to get critical diagnostic tests when they cannot afford them, but since screenings were halted for a time in 2020 during the pandemic, Brem has also included screening mammograms as eligible use of B-Fund support.
Use of Funds
Funds must only be used to pay, in part or in whole, for breast screening and diagnostic tests, including but not limited to:
- Screening mammography
- Diagnostic mammography
- Ultrasound
- MRI
- Breast Biopsies
- Molecular Breast Imaging
- Pathology costs associated with breast diagnoses.
Eligibility Criteria
Each eligible entity must:
- Exhibit that it has breast screening and diagnostic capabilities or that it officially partners with entities that have breast screening and diagnostic capabilities.
- Outsource tests when needed if the breast center and/or breast center partner does not have all available breast diagnostic or screening technologies.
- Be committed to equal access to breast care and breast diagnostic tests regardless of patients’ race, nationality, religion, color, gender, sexual orientation, or socio-economic status.
- Demonstrate that they are providing breast care and diagnostic services to patients who are eligible under their existing financial assistance policies and cannot be enrolled in any other financial assistance program within two (2) weeks of experiencing breast symptoms requiring diagnostic tests or having an abnormal screening mammogram.
- Have a financial assistance policy in place.
- Make concerted and reasonable efforts to explain the benefits and eligibility criteria for Medicaid and other available public and private financial assistance programs to patients, or patients’ guarantors, and make available to those patients the information on programs that may provide coverage for breast screening and diagnostic services and associated costs, before providing B-Fund support.
- Funds will primarily be designated for entities located in the DC metro area (The DC metro area, officially known as the Washington metropolitan area, encompasses Washington, D.C., and parts of Maryland and Virginia.)
