> [@Carol\_the\_Impaler](#): > > This. Mammograms are not done in doctors’ offices anymore. At least not in Omaha where I am. I know this because my insurance company says they cover mammograms for only a regular co-pay, but only if it’s inpatient lab. If it’s outpatient lab, then the cost is 20% of my co-insurance. IOW, inpatient mammogram? Twenty-five bucks. Outpatient lab? Two hundred and twenty. Strong incentive for me to find out where in this major metropolitan area I can go to get an inpatient mammogram. > > Turns out there are NO doctor’s offices in Omaha that provide mammograms in their office. All of them refer you to an outside lab (like a hospital lab). I guess, technically, that means that my gynecologist and internist do not provide mammograms. I’m not surprised that Planned Parenthood doesn’t have a mammography machine and a radiologist in their office. No one does. Just to reiterate, in a calmer but no less embarrassed tone of voice, that it’s difficult for me to imagine being much wronger than I was here. My initial concession was based on a discovery that made the statement technically true, but I harbored in the back of my mind a small sense of, “Well, 10%, OK, but still…” But I’ve continued to research, and I now see the truth of the description above, and it’s utterly clear to me that PP does indeed provide mammograms in every sense of the word “provide.” Again, sorry to have been a clueless ass on this claim. And I appreciate the ignorance fought. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/senator-boxer-d-ca-lies-and-doesnt-even-admit-it/578116)._
