How much does a Diagnostic mammogram cost?

The typical insurer-negotiated rate for a Diagnostic mammogram (one breast) is about $197, with most falling between $133 and $291, based on published rates from 2,847 U.S. hospitals. What you actually pay depends on your plan's deductible and coinsurance.

Cash or self-pay prices for a Diagnostic mammogram (one breast) run around $281. Uninsured patients are often billed the much higher hospital "list" charge first (about $491), so it's worth asking for the cash or self-pay rate and negotiating.

Hospital "list" (chargemaster) prices for a Diagnostic mammogram (one breast) run about $491 — roughly 2.5× the $197 insurers actually pay. The list price is a starting point almost no one pays; the negotiated and cash rates are the realistic benchmark.

Yes. If you were charged well above the typical negotiated rate (about $197), that gap is negotiable. Upfronte audits your bill against real hospital pricing data and can negotiate it down on your behalf — no savings, no fee.
