No, ACA has rules for breast screening coverage. If it was a screening mammo and USlike this. If it was done to someone under 40 or not high risk it would not be a screening exam. If it was a diagnostic exam that is completely different. It would be covered under the general policy with copay/maximums etc. Screenings and diagnostic mammograms/US are different and not covered under preventive medicine.

I have never seen charges like this for breast imaging under insurance before. Something is wrong, either billing or the insurance. The only way I can see this if the imaging was ordered without a proper reason…but likely not.

The fun part of North dakota is the extremes. The record low (without wind chill) is -60 F, the record high is 122 F. That is a 182 degree spread, or 100 C spread for the rest of the world.

There are jobs in ND but not much else. Cost of living is good but higher than a lot of the Midwest. Colder and windier than upstate, usually a bit less snow though. Summers are arguably better in ND. Flights are limited and more costly. Get used to driving distances instead of time. It’s an ok option for the right person.

It’s raining in the Dakotas today, usually I’m ice fishing

Not bad, better than I thought it would be. At least enjoyable on the steam deck.
