How Do I Pay for a Pap Test?
Below are ways to pay for a Pap test if you do not have
health insurance.
- If you qualify for Medicaid, you may not have to
pay for the doctor visit or for a Pap test. For more
information, call the Medicaid Information
Line in your state. Visit www.cms.hhs.gov/medicaid
for an online listing.
- If you are age 65 or older, Medicare will help pay the
cost of a Pap test, generally once every 2 years. For more
information about Medicare coverage for Pap tests, call
1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
- If you have a low income or no insurance, you can go
to public hospitals or clinics for Pap tests and pay based
on your income. Some states provide free and low-cost
Pap tests to eligible women who may not be able to
afford the test on their own. For information
about where to go for free or low-cost Pap tests in
your area call 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).
