What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.
National vs Arkansas
Where Arkansas ranks for this CPT
Diagnostic Mammogram and how Arkansas is priced
One payment locality covers the whole of Arkansas, and its geographic indices are among the lowest CMS publishes, so Medicare-approved amounts here sit near the bottom of the national range. A clinic visit in Little Rock is priced with the same adjustments as one in the Delta or the Ozarks. For consumers this means the statewide numbers on this site are a close match for almost any Arkansas address. The bigger price swings come from whether a procedure is billed in a hospital department or an independent office.
Little Rock is the state's referral hub, home to its academic medical center and the densest concentration of specialists, with Northwest Arkansas growing quickly as a second center of care. Large parts of the Delta and the mountain counties have limited local options, so traveling for procedures is routine. Lower area wages also mean cash prices for care in Arkansas often undercut national averages.
This procedure: A diagnostic bilateral mammogram is a focused X-ray examination of both breasts performed because something needs a closer look: a lump, pain, nipple discharge, or an abnormality flagged on a screening mammogram. Unlike screening, a radiologist is typically on site directing extra angled or magnified views in real time, and you often receive results before leaving. Each breast is compressed briefly for each view, and the appointment usually runs 30 to 45 minutes.
What Is Diagnostic Mammogram?
A diagnostic bilateral mammogram is a focused X-ray examination of both breasts performed because something needs a closer look: a lump, pain, nipple discharge, or an abnormality flagged on a screening mammogram. Unlike screening, a radiologist is typically on site directing extra angled or magnified views in real time, and you often receive results before leaving. Each breast is compressed briefly for each view, and the appointment usually runs 30 to 45 minutes.
What Affects the Cost
- –Unlike free screening, diagnostic mammography is subject to deductible and coinsurance on most plans, making the same machines suddenly cost money.
- –Same-day breast ultrasound is frequently added to work up the finding, billed as its own study.
- –3D tomosynthesis views, now common, add a separate code and charge on top of the 2D study.
- –Hospital breast centers bill facility fees that independent breast imaging centers do not.
- –If a biopsy is recommended, that follow-on procedure with pathology is a substantial next cost.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Does my state or plan waive cost sharing for diagnostic breast imaging, or will I owe deductible and coinsurance?
- 2.Will ultrasound or 3D views be added today, and what does each cost?
- 3.What is the facility fee at this breast center compared with an independent imaging center?
- 4.If a biopsy is recommended, what would that procedure and pathology cost?
- 5.Can you give me the total for all imaging performed before I leave today?

Arkansas is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 77066 is $138.55 in an office and $138.55 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Arkansas uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $28 for the office physician line or $28 for the hospital physician line in Arkansas. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $138.55 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 77066. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. Arkansas ranks #1 of 51 states on this physician line (12% below the national office rate of $156.98).
