The Affordable Care Act provides access to free mammography exams, which are a front-line screening tool for breast cancer. However, a recent study highlighted by Susan G. Komen shows that when these screenings show the need for further diagnostic tests, women are often hesitant to pursue them because of the hefty price tag. The average out-of-pocket cost of a breast MRI, for example, is more than a thousand dollars.
This is a barrier for patients who show signs of breast cancer in a mammogram. The barrier is even greater for breast cancer survivors since their follow-up care calls for regular diagnostic tests, such as the MRI. The study concludes that more should be done to make diagnostic tests such as breast MRIs affordable.
