Why Haven't You Scheduled Your Mammogram Yet?

UNI's health plans are showing that nearly 44% of those eligible for a breast cancer screening have not received one.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a reminder of the importance of early detection and preventive care.

For most women, mammogram screenings are recommended beginning at age 40. UNI's Self-Insured Health Plans cover one preventive mammogram each calendar year at 100%, including 3D preventive mammograms when received as preventive care.

Because individual risk factors can vary, talk with your health care provider about when you should begin screening and how often you should be tested based on your personal and family health history.

Taking time for preventive screenings today can help support your long-term health and well-being. Schedule yours today.
