Yes. I had a mammogram at 51 and three days later developed mastitis. Doctor confirmed it was from the compression. I had a high fever, severe headache and rash. Within 24 hours of taking antibiotics it cleared up a lot, but it took another couple of months of antibiotics to go completely away.
A mammogram script is typically valid for one year from the date it was issued. However, this can vary depending on specific healthcare provider policies and local regulations. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider or the facility performing the mammogram for their specific guidelines. Always ensure you schedule your mammogram within the validity period for optimal screening.

Medicare and Medicaid typically cover mammogram screenings every 12 months, but they do not require them to be exactly one year apart. The guidelines allow for screenings to be conducted a little earlier than the one-year mark, as long as it doesn't exceed the coverage limits. It's essential for patients to consult their healthcare provider and insurance guidelines to ensure coverage.
There could be a number of things that would cause this, but the fact that it is not painful and is fixed is some cause for alarm, since cancerous lumps are not usually painful and are fixed (they don't move around). But there are many benign things that could cause this, as well, such as a clogged lymph node, an infection in a lymph gland, a calcification, etc., so there is no cause for panic. I do recommend though, that you have a doctor look at it soon.
Yes, they will cover annual mammograms if they are suitable to age. Currently, under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Annual Checkups and certain preventive services are covered without charge. Various carriers may designate a different age as the year in which Mammograms are offered as Preventive service. IF the mammogram is DIAGNOSTIC due to finding a lump for example, the mammogram is more likely to be treated as a diagnostic lab test. A great deal depends on how the doctor codes the test.
