How much does a Breast Thermogram Cost?
Our centers charge based on regional factors. Typically, this range is $199-299 initially inclusive for the images, interpretation and report. Most women agree this is a small price to pay for EARLY breast cancer detection.
Do I need a referral from a doctor to get an appointment?
No. You may book an appointment directly with one of our centers.
How long does a scan take to perform?
Approximately 20 minutes. Plan on being in our center for 30 minutes.
How long does it take to get the results?
We pride ourselves with prompt turnaround. In most cases, our Board Certified Thermographers will have the results back to your center in 3 days or less. We offer a ONE BUSINESS DAY rush option.
Can I have a thermogram if I’m pregnant or nursing?
Yes you may. This is a harmless procedure with no radiation or physical contact involved.
Is Thermography covered by insurance?
Not at this time. Keep in mind, cutting edge technology is not covered in most fields of medicine. Our centers charge a nominal fee for this technology despite the cost of the equipment and the cost of running a center.
How often will I need a thermogram?
Your initial scan will dictate what follow-up is necessary. With no suspicious findings, most follow-up recommendations will be 12 months. Scans that warrant monitoring typically will be 3-6 months.
Do breast implants alter the results?
Thermography is a great test for women with implants as there is no compression for potential damage. Accuracy is decreased with implants in both thermographic imaging as well as mammograms.
Keep in mind breast thermography is cleared for adjunctive testing of the female breast and is not a stand alone procedure.
