Screening: Affordable and Smart

      Comments Off on Screening: Affordable and Smart


October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. I’m jumping the gun because this is something you’ll want to get in on early.

Many of us are struggling with lesser or no insurance benefits these days. Preventive medicine is usually the first thing to go when we have to pay for it ourselves. But ladies, your mammogram is not something you should cross off your list. Seriously. I know they can be expensive. But listen up, because here’s a deal you can’t afford to miss:

“All Providence medical centers now offer screening mammograms at the reduced price of $100. To schedule yours, call 1-888-HEALING” says the Fall, 2011 issue of Providence Health, A Guide to Healthy Living and Quality Care. For you local gals, these centers are located in Mission Hills, Burbank and Tarzana, California.

I wish I’d know about this. For even with my limited PPO insurance with Blue Shield, my copay was way more than $100.00.

Don’t put it off, or I might have to unfriend you.
