Need a colposcopy in Rockford? Start with the same clinics
If your pap smear or HPV test comes back abnormal, the usual next step is a colposcopy: a 10 to 15 minute exam where a clinician looks at the cervix with a magnifying scope and, if needed, takes a small biopsy. It is how abnormal cells get diagnosed before they can become cancer.
The community health centers listed above provide pap smear screening, and many perform colposcopy on-site or refer you to a partner clinic that does. Call and ask two questions: whether they do colposcopy on-site, and whether you qualify for NBCCEDP coverage, which pays for diagnostic follow-up after an abnormal result, not just the screening itself.
Illinois's free cervical cancer screening program
If you are uninsured or under-insured, Illinois runs a NBCCEDP program that covers pap smear and follow-up at no cost for residents who qualify.
