I was diagnosed in 10/08 followed by lumpectomy and radiation. My post treatment consists of diagnostic mammo first on both breasts, now every six months on the bad girl, and yearly for the good girl. I have BCBS with a $500 ded. I pay over $600 monthly. I am entitled to one yearly routine mammo, but they pay $0 for diagnostic. I just don't see how that is fair. Anyone with the same issue? I soon will be going to annual mammos, but they still will be diagnostic for the next 3 years. Thanks

I have Medical Mutual (not BCBS), but have the same problem. Diagnostic mammograms are out-of pocket. I have a $5000 deductible before the insurance pays anything. It seems like they should at least apply the cost of a routine mammogram to the cost of the diagnostic. Fortunately my next mammgram is in December so it will be covered since my deductible is already fulfilled this year.
