Upcoming On-Campus Dates: Springfield Campus – September 15 | West Plains Campus – October 29

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

Coverage:

• Mammograms are covered 100% in-network 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 are covered in full by insurance when using an in-network provider.
