Mammography is available for women who are over 40, have no symptoms of breast cancer and have seen a doctor in the past two years. A doctor’s prescription is not necessary.
Novant Health team accepts insurance and can work out low cost options for those who need it explained Amy Newcomb, a mammographer with Novant. Staff will do the mammogram and send it to a radiologist at Novant’s Prince William Medical Center in Manassas for review. Then, a copy of the results from the test will be mailed to the patient’s doctor and a summary letter will go to the patient explaining the results.
“Our goal is to reach a population who would not other wise be served,” Newcomb said. “This mammogram is for screening and additional testing may be needed if something is found.”
