How much does a screening mammogram cost in the US?

Across 1,121 hospitals that publish federally required price files, the median negotiated rate is $172, and the middle half of hospitals fall between $108 and $262. Self-pay cash prices have a median of $250 across the 854 hospitals that list one. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible, coinsurance and network.

Why do Screening Mammogram prices vary so much?

Each hospital negotiates separately with each insurer. In these files the priciest tenth of hospitals negotiated more than 4.7 times what the cheapest tenth did, and state medians run from $79 in Alabama to $734 in Maryland.

Is the cash price cheaper than using insurance?

Sometimes. At 299 of the 854 hospitals that list a cash price (35%), it is lower than that hospital's own median negotiated rate. If you have a high deductible, ask the hospital for its self-pay price before you book.

Each bar counts hospitals whose median rate falls in that price band; the last, dashed bar holds the 3 at $1,000 or more. The cheapest tenth negotiated under $84, the priciest tenth over $399 — 4.7× apart for the same procedure.

These are contract reference rates, not your bill. A median across hospitals is not a quote for your plan or network. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance and network status.

This is the hospital's facility fee. The radiologist who reads the images bills separately.

Medicare does not pay this service through the outpatient (OPPS) rate table we use as a baseline, so no Medicare multiple is shown.

Coverage: 1,121 of the 5,419 hospitals in the CMS roster have an identity-verified price file with this procedure in our data. It is not a random sample, and a hospital missing here has not been judged non-compliant — we may simply not have its file yet. 82 of these 1,121 hospital files were more than 12 months old at extraction — hospitals must update yearly; we keep the figures and say so rather than hide them.
