The dates & times provided are for your convenience. You may still obtain a mammogram with a referral from your physician at the above facilities on dates not listed.
Participants who are at least age 40 and older or who have a known family history of breast cancer should obtain an
annual mammogram and breast exam. Those who are 20 to 39 years of age should have a physician examine their
breasts every three years and should conduct self-exams regularly. Regardless of age, all participants should check their
breasts for changes in appearance and sensitivity monthly, preferably 7 to 10 days after menstruation. Participants who no
longer menstruate should check their breasts the first day of each month.
STEP TWO: REVIEW YOUR TEST RESULTS
The results of your mammogram will be forwarded to your regular physician. If your results are normal, a notice will be
sent to you regarding the test results within two to three weeks from the time your test was performed. If your results are
abnormal, you will be contacted by phone and asked to follow up with your regular physician.
Mesquite Area Participants
The Teachers Health Trust is once again proud to sponsor the 15th annual Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign. The campaign
is designed to encourage all Diamond and Platinum Medical Plan participants to take an active role with respect to breast health
by obtaining free breast exams and/or mammograms during the months of September, October and November. In order to
better accommodate Trust participants in the Mesquite area, the copayment reimbursement program for breast exams and/or
mammograms has been organized with a facility in Mesquite.
The in–network providers available for the Mesquite area Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign are Dr. Ofori at Mesquite
Women’s Clinic and Desert Radiologists, Mesa View Regional Hospital. In order to receive copayment reimbursement, you
must schedule and attend appointments with one or both of these in–network providers. Please note that while you may obtain
your breast exam and referral at your regular OB/GYN, the Trust will only reimburse the copay for visits made to the above two
providers.
