Mobile mammography bus returning to main campus November 22

Share:

The AnMed Health Mobile Mammography Coach will be on Clemson’s main campus on November 22, 2024, to provide mammography services to interested employees.

The bus will be stationed between Bowman Field and Sikes Hall from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. or until no more appointments are available. 

Previously scheduled for September, the bus was rescheduled to allow more individuals to sign up.

Mammography services through the AnMedHealth mobile mammography coach are free through the state health insurance plan for eligible employees. Many other insurance companies provide mammography services to eligible members at no cost or with a discount. Still, interested individuals should review their plan to determine what their coverage includes. Individuals paying for mammography services out of pocket receive a 50% discount. Individuals may also be eligible for low or no-cost screenings if they do not have insurance. To learn whether you qualify for assistance, contact the breast patient navigator at 864-512-4091. 

Mobile mammography services are available to women 40 or older with a self-referral or an order from their physician.

AnMed Health guidelines state individuals should have no breast symptoms, not be pregnant or breastfeeding, and be able to walk up 3-4 mobile steps. You may receive a mammogram if it has been one year and one day since your previous mammogram. Please do not wear any deodorant, powder, perfume or lotion on the day of your appointment. AnMed Health suggests individuals wear a two-piece outfit for the appointment. 

Please bring your insurance card and photo ID to the appointment.   

A radiologist with AnMed Health will read your results within one business day and send them immediately to your physician. You can also view your results on your AnMed MyChart account. Patients will receive a letter in the mail with their results within 7-10 days. 

Though not required, appointments are highly encouraged. To schedule an appointment, call 864-512-6255.
