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 New Hampshire
Where New Hampshire ranks for this CPT
Diagnostic Mammogram and how New Hampshire is priced
New Hampshire is priced as one statewide locality with geographic indices above the national average, keeping company with its high-cost New England neighbors. From Nashua to the North Country, the fee schedule applies identical adjustments, even though the southern tier is economically an extension of greater Boston. CMS has never split the state, so the Massachusetts border is also a pricing border: cross it southbound and the metro Boston locality takes over. That makes New Hampshire a clear example of how locality lines, not just providers, shape what Medicare approves.
Southern New Hampshire residents routinely use Boston hospitals for complex care, accepting metro pricing in exchange for academic-center depth, while the state's own tertiary referral center sits in the west near the Vermont border. The Lakes Region and North Country rely on small rural hospitals with limited procedure menus. No state income or sales tax attracts retirees, steadily raising Medicare demand.
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?

Diagnostic Mammogram in New Hampshire: questions
New Hampshire is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 77066 is $161.63 in an office and $161.63 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. New Hampshire 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 $32 for the office physician line or $32 for the hospital physician line in New Hampshire. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $161.63 is the Medicare physician allowed amount for CPT 77066. Anesthesia, facility fees, implants, and other CPT codes billed the same day are extra. New Hampshire ranks #40 of 51 states on this physician line (3% above the national office rate of $156.98).
