Ok so you're probably wondering which one. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force changing recommendations for breast cancer screening.
Well you know me I haven't exactly been quiet about this and have been around tons of medical professional lately and this is what I have learned.
The medical community is scoffing at this recommendation so hard that it has pretty much turned the USPSTF into a laughing stock. No one is taking them seriously. It has damaged their reputation severly to the point...that insurance companies are ignoring this recommendation.
Yea that's how out of whack it is. So for those that felt this confused the issue, be unconfused.
And go get your mammograms!
Do I understand you properly that insurance cos., so far, are still covering mammograms from forty on (for women with standard bc risk)?
ReplyDeleteIf so, then yay!!!
Yes. Because they know they are going to get sued if some woman gets breast cancer and they didn't catch it until it was really too late because she couldn't get a mammogram. Yea the insurance companies have that much sense.
