Wellfleet, Binx Health broaden access to HPV Screening

Healthcare technology company Binx Health  has partnered with student health insurer Wellfleet to broaden access to HPV testing at-home sample collection.

The companies believe this joint initiative will encourage more Americans to get tested for HPV, in the settings and at the times most convenient for them.

“Partnering with Binx has opened a channel for low cost, discreet sample collection that has the potential to save lives. In the U.S. there are an estimated 42 million cases of HPV at any given time. This is an epidemic. Screening and early detection can lead to better health outcomes.” – Barrie Baker, Chief Medical Officer at Wellfleet.

“It is gratifying to be shoulder-to-shoulder with an organization as committed to student health as Wellfleet. Their reach in student health enables us to jointly provide a safe, convenient, discreet solution for HPV detection and allow individuals to determine if they are at an increased risk for cervical cancer. We encourage everyone to get more information on HPV to better understand their own personal risks, and to get tested if they are at risk.” – Jeff Luber, president and CEO at Binx Health.
