Data From Vital and Health Statistics |
Health Insurance and Cancer Screening Among Women
Advance Data 254. This report shows how health insurance is an important factor associated with preventive health care. The purpose of the report is to provide national data on the relationship between type of health insurance coverage and recent use of mammography, clinical breast examinations (CBEs), and Pap tests by women 40 years of age and over. The objectives are to compare use of screening between women with private coverage, public coverage, and the uninsured; and between women with different types of health insurance coverage.
Data Highlights:
In 1992, 80 percent of
women 40-64 years of age had private insurance, including 19 percent who were enrolled in
an Health Maintenance Organization (HMO).
In 1992 almost all women aged 65
years and over had Medicare coverage, and 75 percent also had private coverage, including
11 percent who were enrolled in an HMO.
The percent of women reporting each
of the three procedures was lowest for uninsured women and highest for women enrolled in
HMOs.
