If you would like to make an appointment for a screening mammogram, you may do so by calling 425-688-5700. The Breast Health Center at Overlake is FDA-approved, accredited by the American College of Radiology and accepts Medicare.
Insurance Coverage
The American Cancer Society recommends a screening mammogram annually starting at age 40. Since January 1998, Medicare has covered screening mammograms once every 12 months. Please understand that these recommendations may not necessarily be reflected in the reimbursement guidelines from your insurance company. If you are concerned about your coverage, we suggest you call your carrier before scheduling an appointment.
No-cost Mammograms
Overlake is proud to be a participant in Washington State Breast and Cervical Health Program. If you are a woman between the ages of 40 to 64, with limited or no health insurance coverage and meet income eligibility guidelines, you may be eligible to receive breast health services at no cost to you.
For more information or to see if you qualify, please call Women's Health Outreach Coordinator Patricia Kirschner at 425-467-3594.
Getting Results
Your mammogram is read by the radiologist and digitized into the ICAD system, a computer aided detection system for the early detection of breast cancer. Studies show that this process will lead to the detection of 5 to 15 percent more cancers.
Your Bill
Mammograms involve both professional and technical fees. Please understand that you (or your insurance company) will get two bills: one from the Breast Center for the procedure itself and one from the physicians who read the films.
Early detection saves lives. Please talk to your physician about when you should have a baseline or screening mammogram. See ACS screening guidelines.
