Patients' Access Webinar - Screening and Diagnostic Imaging
Join us on Thursday, October 8 at 12pm CDT/1pm EST for the next webinar in Komen's Patients' Access series, which will feature a panel discussion on breast screening and diagnostic imaging.
Millions of women across the country now have access to free screening mammography due to the inclusion of screening mammography as an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act (ACA). However, if diagnostic imaging is needed after an abnormality is found on a screening test, the patient may be faced with hundreds to thousands of dollars in costs — all before they even know whether they have breast cancer. Although some insurers cover additional diagnostic imaging such as diagnostic mammography, ultrasound and breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), the costs vary greatly.
Come learn how state and federal policies impact access to these vital exams, the implications for providers and patients, and Komen's public policy efforts addressing these financial barriers. Register today!
