Breast cancer screening locations

Blue Cross of Idaho is dedicated to helping our members access quality care. One way we do that is by letting you know about convenient resources, such as mobile mammography vans, which will be in your area throughout the year.

Mobile mammography vans are a convenient way to schedule an annual mammogram. These vans are staffed with radiologists who are trained in breast imaging and screenings and can help answer questions.

Preventive screenings like mammograms are covered at no cost to Blue Cross of Idaho members when they see an in-network provider. Review your plan benefits for a complete listing of covered preventive care services.

Women between the ages of 40 and 45 can choose to get screened for breast cancer every year, but women age 45-54 are recommended to get screened every year. Women age 55 and older can choose to be screened every other year. Talk to your doctor to decide what is best for you.

Below are the 2024 schedules for the mobile mammography vans that will be available throughout rural Idaho. Review the schedules to find a van that is available in your area and call to make an appointment to get screened.

You can find out more about breast cancer screening and where to get screened in Idaho on our breast cancer screening resource page.
