With the recent changes in the U.S. Preventative Services Task Force recommendations for mammography, the ACR realizes that there is a great deal of confusion with regard to Medicare and private payer coverage of mammography. Medicare coverage has not changed as a result of these recommendations and the ACR is not aware of any private payers who have changed their coverage policies at this time.
If you have received notice from a private payer, referring physician, or patient of any coverage changes, please contact Kathryn Keysor at kkeysor@acr-arrs.org.
