On my last mammogram, there was a delay with my results. I called them…had to leave a message. Called again, no response ….after 3 weeks my primary called me and gave me the results. Then, I got a letter of results a week later from the provider. All was good, but I won’t use that provider again. They told me I’d have the results within a week Additionally, they sent the test to an out of network provider, and now I have to pay $250, for a screening mammogram, that I was told was free. I contested as Surprise Billing, which is illegal, but they don’t care. My insurance denied my appeal. So, I’m paying it. Ugh.

I cannot believe you had to wait that long? They told me while I was still there after getting the 3D mammogram. The ultrasound came immediately afterwards, and then there is a consult with a doctor. Mine is through UW Hospital with a whole special Department called The Breast Center. All the doctors I've met are female. You get results almost immediately, you get total support, including a phone call when needed,and you get intermittent checkups. It is absolutely unbelievable that you would have to wait for those results. Omg, I am shocked! I would definitely look for a new provider even if you have to go the distance to find a true professional.
