Our benefit covers screening mammograms based on your doctor’s recommendations. You do not have to pay if you receive a screening mammogram in-network.

Diagnostic mammograms are also covered under the plan. As with other non-preventive x-rays, labs and diagnostics including reading and interpretation (not including advanced x-rays, scans and imaging), the in-network benefit on the PPO plans is a coinsurance percentage without first meeting your deductible. The in-network benefit on the CDHP/HSA is covered with applicable deductible and coinsurance
Providers determine which type of testing (screening or diagnostic) is appropriate based on factors such as a patient’s history, other tests and current symptoms and complaints.
