Insurance Coverage of Mammograms  

What if my health insurance does not cover mammograms?

All states and territories of the U.S. have programs that cover the cost of mammograms, if your health insurance does not.

Contact the American Cancer Society at 1-800-ACS-2345 to locate these services in your community. You also can go to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program Web site at http://www.cdc.gov/cancer/nbccedp to find out where you can get a free or low-cost mammogram in your area.
