What is Mammogram?
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breast used to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Screening mammograms are recommended annually for women starting at age 40. The procedure compresses the breast between two plates and takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for mammogram is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements. Self-pay patients can use Medicare rates as a benchmark when negotiating prices.

How to choose where to get Mammogram
The cash-pay range on this page is $172.44-$246.96. Before you book, use these steps to find out which setting a quote comes from and what it includes.
Step by step
- Confirm whether you need a screening mammogram or a diagnostic mammogram. They are different services with different billing codes.
- Ask an independent imaging or breast center and a hospital outpatient department for a self-pay quote for that exact exam.
- Ask whether the quote includes the radiologist's reading, or whether the radiologist bills you separately.
- Check that the facility is certified. Under the federal Mammography Quality Standards Act, mammography facilities must be certified to provide mammograms. Source: FDA, MQSA program
- If you are uninsured or paying without insurance, ask each provider for a Good Faith Estimate. Under the No Surprises Act, providers generally must give you one when you schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or when you ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
- Keep every estimate. If a provider or facility bills you at least $400 more than its Good Faith Estimate, you can start the federal patient-provider dispute process for a bill dated within the last 120 days. The fee is $25. Source: CMS, dispute a bill
