Mammogram Bus on Campus

June 13, 2025 by Deidre Mings

Book Your Appointment Now – Secure Your Spot Early!

Early detection saves lives! Regular mammogram screenings are essential for identifying breast cancer at its earliest, most treatable stages. Don’t wait—take control of your health today.

Mammograms are covered at 100% when using an in-network provider under both the Base and Buy-Up medical plans.

As of January 1, 2024, Missouri law now requires insurance plans to cover diagnostic mammograms—used when symptoms or prior imaging suggest follow-up is needed—with no cost-sharing. This means these medically necessary screenings must be covered in full by your insurance when using an in-network provider.
