October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Each year in the United States, about 264,000 people are diagnosed with breast cancer and 42,000 people die from the disease (CDC). Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, before you experience symptoms and while it is easier to treat. An annual preventive mammogram is covered 100% for members of State of Delaware health plans (age and sex parameters apply). Check out other services offered to members of State of Delaware non-Medicare health plans on the Cancer Resources page.

All bariatric surgeries are required to be completed under your SurgeryPlus benefit with a surgeon in the SurgeryPlus network. Bariatric surgery is not covered under your Aetna or Highmark Delaware non-Medicare health plan and will not be eligible for a financial incentive.
