I thought a yearly mammogram was always covered with insurance after the ACA was passed? Or maybe that's only after a certain age?
An annual screening mammogram is automatically covered. If it's a "diagnostic" mammogram following up some specific issue or complaint, then it would then fall into whatever normal policy rules you have with your insurance company for imaging tests. That's more likely the case here since this person had to go on to have an ultrasound as well.
If you have insurance but get billed for an annual screening mammogram, it's possible it was coded improperly by billers and you should definitely check up on that before paying.
i got charged a few thousand (i think $3000?) for a regular ass MRI in Georgia. in italy the same thing would cost like €200-300 at most, probably less
Honestly not even surprising anymore :(
My getting established visit with the doctor cost me $430 last month...
That's just a visit to get started and nothing of significance was actually discussed.
Don't worry, every month we pay $1k for the pleasure of paying retail price on prescriptions until we hit our deductible. Only 9k to go!

But then of course you'd have to live somewhere that isn't the greatest country in the world.
Did they charge you $64.77 for the cup some water came in, and $78.12 for the water itself?
Yeah it sucks. If it's coded as "screening" it's covered. As a tip - my GYN says she can see as much in the 3d mammogram as she can with the regular plus ultrasound and that one she can code as screening and it costs about $25 as an add-on.
I just paid over $2000 to find out I don't have throat cancer. Also have insurance. That's just the cost of a 5 minute laryngoscopy and a 10 minute CT scan.
Yeah luckily that is free over here. Every few years, and always if a doc orders it.

You can't just drop that without details. Plan name. State. Monthly premium. Obamacare subsidy or no.
Yeah, I wonder, too. I've done the same for $15 copay through Kaiser (individual, marketplace) and Blue cross (employer).
I had a $3000 bill for something similar and let it go to collections 2 years ago. I'm not fucking paying that. I just keep contesting the charges and it hasn't yet hit my credit. I imagine it will catch up with me eventually though.
