What is considered expected follow-up?

If you have dense breasts, I would insist on something more than a mammogram. Depending on what state you’re in, there are mandates for insurance companies to cover ultrasound and/or MRI for folks with very dense breast. You can find your state here:

I live in a state where I could’ve been getting ultrasound or MRI since 2018. Had I known, I would’ve insisted upon it and perhaps would’ve found my ILC earlier. My yearly mammograms missed it.

I’ll take a longer look at the reference when back home, but off the bat, looks like mammo is the only exam under Wisconsin. Grrrr..
