4 Appointments Remain- Mammogram Bus February 2.

January 21, 2026 by Deidre Mings

Schedule Your On-Campus Mammogram

On-Campus Mammography: Springfield & West Plains

Upcoming on-campus mammogram appointments are limited and filling quickly. We encourage you to schedule as soon as possible. These visits offer a convenient, on-campus option, and once appointment slots are filled, additional openings may not be available for that date. Open to employees and dependents.

Regular mammogram screenings remain one of the most effective tools for early detection of breast cancer, when treatment options are often more successful. With only a few openings remaining for some upcoming dates, now is a good time to secure your appointment.

Preventive mammograms are covered at 100% under both the Base and Buy-Up medical plans when using an in-network provider. Missouri law also requiresplans to cover diagnostic mammograms—those ordered for follow-up when symptoms or prior imaging indicate further review—with no cost-sharing when medically necessary.
