Detecting cancer in women with dense breasts: MRI?

I’m wondering if my insurance company would pay for MRI if my last mammogram was within a year. It makes no sense, you buy health insurance for when you need it but if it’s within a certain timeframe from the last test I had done ,they don’t cover. Seems unfair 😒

@rosy54 if your doctor /surgeon prescribes an MRI, the office should check for you. If you have had cancer - IMHO I think MRIs should be done. My cancer was found with MRI after a mammogram showed all was good. It was a surgeon that was proactive to say “let’s do a MRI to see what’s really in there due to your dense tissue “ cancer was found. Check w/ your surgeon to see if he will order up one. Doctors hesitate to order as due to cost but be proactive. It’s frustrating to say the least bit it is Your health. Keep pushing. Blessings
