A screening mammogram is a routine yearly breast check. It’s an important part of staying proactive about your breast health.
You are having a screening when:
A mammogram is considered diagnostic when the care team needs a closer look. This may happen if you’ve noticed something new, your provider has a concern, or the radiologist sees something that requires additional imaging.
You are having a diagnostic mammogram when:
Diagnostic imaging is billed differently by insurance and may involve a copay, coinsurance, or deductible.
If you have concerning symptoms or extra imaging is involved, we are required to perform a diagnostic exam, even if your appointment was scheduled as a routine screening. This change will be discussed with you prior to performing the exam, so you feel informed and supported every step of the way.
