Mobile Lung Cancer Screening

RAVENSWOOD — L.U.C.A.S., a state-of-the-art mobile lung cancer screening unit, will be in Ravenswood from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. July 30 at QuadMed.

For an appointment, call 304-786-0288.

L.U.C.A.S., short for Lung Cancer Screening, is a service of WVU Medicine and the WVU Cancer Institute. Screenings are billed to private insurance, Medicaid or Medicare.

Uninsured patients living in West Virginia who meet screening criteria can receive a lung cancer screening on LUCAS through the generosity of grant funding and donations. A physician’s order and prior authorization from insurance are required to get screened.

Appointments must be made 14 or more days in advance of the visit to allow time for insurance pre-authorizations.
