Mammogram Screening Special Cost Comparison

G0202 (HCPCS)

A mammogram screening is an X-ray examination of the breast used to look for early signs of cancer or other abnormalities. This test is typically recommended for women starting at age 40 or 50 (depending on individual risk factors and guidelines) as a routine cancer screening, or at any age if a doctor suspects a problem. During the procedure, your breast is gently compressed between two plates while X-ray images are taken from different angles, which usually takes about 20 minutes and may cause temporary discomfort but is not painful for most people.
