October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast cancer affects 1 in 8 women in the U.S., but early detection can make all the difference. This October, we urge everyone to be proactive about your health and that of your loved ones.

Your Action Item: Schedule Your Screening Today!

If you are due for a mammogram or haven’t had a recent screening, don’t wait. Talk to your doctor and schedule your appointment today.

Cost Coverage: Preventive screenings like mammograms are typically covered at no cost to you when done in-network.
