Mammography Facility Fees (MQSA)

The Mammography Quality Standards Act (MQSA) of 1992 and the subsequent reauthorization Acts require the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assess and collect fees from mammography facilities to cover the costs of inspections.

The FDA MQSA inspection fee for a mammography facility with one unit is $2,150 for inspections performed on or after October 1, 2007.  The charge for each additional unit is $250.  The fee for a follow-up inspection is $1,144.   Facilities in Certifying States should contact their State Certifying Agency to determine the fees that apply to them.  The fee FDA assesses on facilities operating within approved Certifying States is $548.  The option of grouping inspections for a fee discount will continue for eligible mammography providers.  The table below lists the annual inspection fees according to the number of mammography units.
