If you have Medicare, Medicaid, or other health insurance, you must bring your card with you on the day of your appointment.

For women with health insurance, the insurance will be billed for services. However, women will not be charged a co-pay and will not receive a bill.
-Mammograms are performed by a certified, licensed mammography technologist in conjunction with the Multi-Diagnostic Services (MDS).
