I don't have health insurance, but my mom keeps bugging me to get a mammogram due to family history. I'm 31, but she says that with our family history I should get checked earlier than most. Does anyone know of a program that offers low-cost screening since I don't have insurance? Thanks
I know in Washtenaw county, we have programs for uninsured. St Joe hospital has an internal type of program and then the county has one. My recommendation would be to call the hospitals and ask them about getting info on those types of programs. Also, Washtenaw had a program, I think it was called Title 15 solely for mammograms for the uninsured. I definately think your mom "bugging" you is a good idea if there is family history. Good luck!
Hi E.,
I don't know the cost, but Beaumont Hospital offers patients without insurance a 40% discount. They will also work with you as far as payment if it is still too costly after the discount. I can't stress enough how important it is for you to be checked with a family history of Breast cancer.

HI, I believe that if you qualify..there is a group called BCC that will pay for a yearly exam and mammogram. Check it out. Hope this helps because this is important.
