The Step-by-Step User Guide is an instruction manual for enrolling women and entering data via the Internet for the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Cancer Detection Section’s (CDS) breast and cervical cancer screening program known as Cancer Detection Programs: Every Woman Counts (CDP: EWC). The online data entry system is DETecting Early Cancer (DETEC). Only Primary Care Providers (PCPs) will complete the online DETEC Enroll Recipient, Recipient Information, and Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Cycle forms. PCPs will need computers with Internet access to complete these forms. Recipient information is mandated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program (NBCCEDP) to monitor clinical outcomes. PCPs are eligible for Case Management (CM) payment upon submission of complete and accurate recipient data using the appropriate online forms. This complete and accurate data is necessary for continued NBCCEDP funding of CDP: EWC.

CDP: EWC is a breast and cervical cancer screening program with benefits paid to all enrolled CDS providers. CM payment will be offered only to PCPs when they perform CM services and submit recipient information using the online Recipient Information form and the DETEC Breast and Cervical Cancer Screening Cycle forms. CM fees are paid after complete and accurate data submission and paid only once per recipient per PCP per calendar year. A complete review of the online DETEC forms will be covered later in this user guide. For a complete list of covered services, please refer to the Cancer Detection Programs: Every Woman Counts (can detect) section of the Medi-Cal provider manual.
