How much does a mammogram cost?
There is no national price for a mammogram that this site can date and cite: Medicare's national outpatient price lookup does not cover it, and no free national price for it with a date of its own could be found. So the prices below are what named hospitals publish, including the price each will accept from a patient paying cash. A screening mammogram and a diagnostic one are different codes at different prices, and that distinction decides more than the hospital does. For a bilateral screening mammogram, CPT 77067, Boston Medical Center files a gross charge of $732.00 with a cash price of $329.40, Franklin Memorial Hospital files $399.00 for the facility, and The University of Chicago Medical Center files two amounts on that one code, $614.00 and $616.00. The bilateral diagnostic version, CPT 77066, is dearer at all three: $959.00, $521.70 and $719.00. The 3D scan is a separate code again, and this is where the files disagree most: the screening tomosynthesis code, 77063, is $187.00 at Boston Medical Center, $132.10 at Franklin Memorial Hospital and $90.00 at The University of Chicago Medical Center, while the diagnostic bilateral version, 77062, is $935.00, $377.45 and $114.00 at the same three hospitals on the same days.

Which code you are having, and why it decides the price
| What is happening | The code, and what it means for the bill |
|---|---|
| You are due a routine mammogram and have no symptoms | Screening, CPT 77067 bilateral. The cheapest of the mammography codes at all three hospitals here |
| Something was found, or you have a symptom to investigate | Diagnostic, CPT 77066 bilateral or 77065 for one side. Dearer than screening at all three |
| The unit is a 3D machine and the images are taken in slices | Tomosynthesis is a separate code on top: 77063 when it is a screening, 77062 or 77061 when it is diagnostic. The gap between those two situations is the largest in these files |
| You are paying yourself | The discounted cash price, where a hospital files one below its list price. One of these three does; the other two file the same figure in both columns |
| You are looking for a free screening | A different question from this page, and often the right one. Half of the first page of results for this search is about where to get one at no cost |

What changes the price
- Screening or diagnostic
- The largest difference on the page and it is decided before you arrive. Boston Medical Center files $732.00 for a bilateral screening mammogram and $959.00 for the bilateral diagnostic one; Franklin Memorial Hospital files $399.00 and $521.70. A screening is the one you have because you are due it.
- Whether the images are 3D, and whether that 3D is screening or diagnostic
- Tomosynthesis is its own code and the two versions are priced very differently. At Boston Medical Center the screening code 77063 is $187.00 and the diagnostic bilateral code 77062 is $935.00. At The University of Chicago Medical Center the same two are $90.00 and $114.00.
- One side or both
- A unilateral diagnostic mammogram is a different code from a bilateral one and is cheaper at all three hospitals: $775.00 against $959.00 at Boston Medical Center, $370.75 against $521.70 at Franklin Memorial Hospital, $538.00 against $719.00 at The University of Chicago Medical Center.
- Whether anyone is paying on your behalf
- Boston Medical Center files a cash price below its list price on every mammography row, $329.40 against $732.00 on the screening code. The other two file the same figure in both columns, so paying cash buys no discount on the filed number there.
- Which hospital, and not in a consistent direction
- The University of Chicago Medical Center files the lowest tomosynthesis prices of the three and the highest bilateral diagnostic mammogram after Boston Medical Center. A hospital that is dearer on one code is not reliably dearer on the next.
- The date on the file
- Each figure is true as of the day its hospital attested to it, and the three quoted here span seven months. A filed price changes when the hospital refiles, and the file is the only thing that says when that was.
How to pay less
- Ask which code you are booked under
- It is the most useful question on this page. At Boston Medical Center the difference between the screening code and the bilateral diagnostic code is $732.00 against $959.00, and at Franklin Memorial Hospital $399.00 against $521.70, before any hospital comparison comes into it.
- Ask whether the 3D images are billed separately
- Tomosynthesis is its own code at all three hospitals here, so it can appear as a line you did not expect. Boston Medical Center files $187.00 for the screening version and $935.00 for the diagnostic bilateral one.
- Ask for the cash price by name
- Boston Medical Center files $329.40 as the cash price against a $732.00 gross charge on the screening code. Two of the three hospitals here file no discount at all, so the answer is worth having rather than assuming.
- Ask about a free or low-cost screening programme first
- Several of the organisations on the first page of results for this search exist to arrange screening at no cost. If you are asking the price because you cannot easily pay it, that is the better first call.
- Check whether a unilateral study is what is planned
- One side is a different code and cheaper at all three hospitals, so it is worth knowing which is intended rather than discovering it on the bill.
Questions
How much is a mammogram without insurance?
Ask the hospital or clinic for its cash price before you book. Hospitals must publish a discounted cash price where they offer one, and the files quoted on this page show those prices beside the list price. With insurance, what you pay depends on your plan's negotiated rate, your deductible and your coinsurance, so ask your insurer for an estimate.
How much does a mammogram cost?
For a bilateral screening mammogram, CPT 77067, Boston Medical Center files $732.00 with a cash price of $329.40, Franklin Memorial Hospital files $399.00, and The University of Chicago Medical Center files $614.00 and $616.00 under two descriptions of the same code, each in its own dated and attested file.
Why is a diagnostic mammogram more expensive than a screening one?
They are different codes and the hospitals file them differently. At Boston Medical Center the screening code is $732.00 and the bilateral diagnostic code is $959.00; at Franklin Memorial Hospital they are $399.00 and $521.70; at The University of Chicago Medical Center $614.00 or $616.00 against $719.00.
How much is a mammogram without insurance?
Where a hospital files a discounted cash price, that is the answer: $329.40 at Boston Medical Center for a bilateral screening mammogram. Franklin Memorial Hospital and The University of Chicago Medical Center file the same figure for cash as for the list price on these codes.
Is a 3D mammogram charged separately?
It is its own code at all three hospitals here. Boston Medical Center files $187.00 for screening tomosynthesis and $935.00 for the diagnostic bilateral version, Franklin Memorial Hospital $132.10 and $377.45, and The University of Chicago Medical Center $90.00 and $114.00.
Why does one hospital list the same code twice?
Because its chargemaster has two lines for it. The University of Chicago Medical Center files CPT 77067 at $614.00 under one description and $616.00 under another, and both are shown here rather than one being chosen, because nothing on this page would justify choosing.
Can I get a mammogram free?
Often, and several organisations exist to arrange it. That is a different question from what a hospital files as its price, and half of the first page of search results for this query is about it rather than about cost.
Why does a hospital have to publish this?
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services requires every hospital operating in the United States to publish a comprehensive machine-readable file of all items and services and a consumer-friendly display of shoppable services, names imaging among those services, states that it audits a sample of hospitals and investigates complaints, and states that hospitals may face civil monetary penalties for noncompliance.
Where these figures come from
Every figure here is published by the hospital named beside it, in US dollars, in the United States, in its own machine-readable standard charges file under 45 CFR 180.50, and each file carries the attestation that the information encoded is true, accurate and complete as of the date in the file. The dates are the ones the files give themselves: 13 March 2026 for Boston Medical Center, attested by Christopher Abate, 9 September 2025 for Franklin Memorial Hospital, attested by Kenneth Olsen, and 1 April 2026 for The University of Chicago Medical Center, attested by Chris Allen. The Boston Medical Center and Franklin Memorial files were downloaded again on 25 September 2026 before any figure here was quoted; the University of Chicago file is the copy read on 23 September 2026, and it carries the same last_updated_on. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services pages linked below were read on 23 September 2026, and the two on what a hospital must publish again on 9 October 2026. BEFORE ANY CODE WAS QUOTED THE DISTINCT PUBLISHED PRICES FOR IT WERE COUNTED PER CODE AND PER BILLING CLASS. Every code at two of the hospitals carries one price; CPT 77067 at the third carries two, and both are shown. Boston Medical Center publishes no billing_class column, so its rows are labelled unlabelled rather than assumed to be facility charges. None of these figures includes the radiologist who reads the images. Nothing here is averaged, turned into a ratio or restated as a typical cost, and three hospitals are three hospitals rather than a national picture.
