Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a mammogram cost without insurance?
A screening mammogram costs $75-$400 without insurance. Diagnostic mammograms with additional views cost more ($200-$500). Many facilities offer discounted cash-pay rates.
Can I get a free mammogram?
Yes! Many programs offer free or low-cost mammograms including the CDC's National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, local health departments, and nonprofit organizations.
What is the difference between 2D and 3D mammograms?
3D mammograms (tomosynthesis) create layered images that can detect more cancers, especially in dense breast tissue. They cost $50-$100 more than 2D mammograms but provide better detection.
How often should I get a mammogram?
Most guidelines recommend annual mammograms starting at age 40-50. High-risk women may need earlier or more frequent screening. Consult your doctor for personalized recommendations.
