Mammography Preparations

When scheduling your mammogram, please inform the scheduler if you’re experiencing any specific breast concerns such as pain, a lump, or nipple discharge. If you have any of these symptoms, you must see your doctor before your mammogram.

Appointment Guidelines

To help ensure a smooth visit, please arrive 15 minutes before your appointment and bring the following:

• Your prescription, insurance card, and photo ID.
• Tracking number and referral (if required by your insurance plan).
• Payment for any co-pay, co-insurance, or deductible—contact your insurance provider with any coverage questions.
• Any prior relevant breast imaging studies and reports.

Important Exam Reminders

• Remove glucose monitors (such as Freestyle Libre) and medication patches before your exam to prevent damage.
• Do not wear metal or jewelry.
• Avoid using creams, powders, or deodorants on your breasts or underarms, as these can cause artifacts on the images.
• Wear a two-piece outfit—you’ll only need to change into a gown from the waist up.
• Let us know if you have breast implants or mobility limitations when scheduling.
• If you’ve had breast imaging at another facility, please bring those films and reports with you.
