Take Action!

Regular mammograms can help your doctor find breast cancer early.

Schedule your mammogram.
Call your doctor or clinic today to schedule a mammogram.

What about cost?
Check with your insurance plan about costs and co–payments. If you don’t have insurance, there may be a free or low–cost mammogram program where you live. If you have Medicare and are over 40, Medicare pays for the cost of your mammogram once every year.

Get support.
When you go to the doctor for a mammogram, ask a family member or friend to go with you. Talk to other women who have had mammograms to learn more about what to expect.
