FIND A breast diagnostic center that will a 3D Tomo Mammagraphy, along with a 3 D Digital Ultrasound and a Breast MRI. If you have BiRad 3 Diagnosis, that is the criteria that Radiology centers go by to book an appointment for all 3.
ALSO your physician must fill out the prescription for that particular radiology center with previous findings Diagnosis codes, including Bi-Rad 3 diagnosis.
If you have Traditional Medicare A&B and a good Supplimental Insurance it should all be covered. (Not sure what private insurance will cover.
This all happened to me.
After following all 3 protocols that I Just described. I now was given, Bi-Rad 0 Normal Mammagraphy, Normal Ultrasound, Normal MRI.
You deserve to have the Best Level of Testing, Advocate for yourself.
I believe that in the future All women will receive all 3 of this Tests as part of their yearly screenings.
The Medical Community just hasn't done so. Not sure why.
Good Luck to you.
Be Strong
Advocate for yourself.

I hope the medical community catches us -especially since breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers
