A generator issue on the mobile unit caused several appointments to be cancelled on April 26, so we’re bringing the unit back on Monday, May 14, to complete those screenings and to provide another opportunity for others to participate.  

MAMMOGRAPHY BENEFIT COVERAGE FOR SMU STAFF/FACULTY

As a benefit to employees covered by the SMU Health and Wellness medical plan administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas (BCBSTX), SMU will cover all routine annual mammogram charges for women age 40 and above. Have your insurance information available when you call. BCBSTX will process the claim and SMU will pay it at 100%. If you participate in insurance plans outside of SMU, please inquire about other billing arrangements when you pre-register.

You may use this benefit with your own physician or medical provider in the community, so if you prefer to make an appointment elsewhere, please do!
