Beaufort, South Carolina – To mark Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Beaufort Memorial Hospital has partnered with MDSave to provide affordable $99 3D screening mammograms. This special offer is available from October 1 to October 31 at three convenient locations in the Lowcountry: Beaufort, Okatie, and Hilton Head Island.
Breast cancer is most treatable when detected early. Women considered at average risk are advised to start their annual mammograms at age 40. The 3D mammography technology, referred to as tomosynthesis, has been shown to increase breast cancer detection rates by 40% while simultaneously reducing false-positive rates by 15%. All screening mammograms performed at Beaufort Memorial’s Breast Health Centers utilize this advanced 3D imaging technology.
The collaboration with MDSave is especially beneficial for patients without health insurance or those who have high-deductible health plans. MDSave is an online healthcare marketplace that allows patients to purchase MDsave vouchers that cover both facility and physician services. The new $99 mammogram offer is less than a third of the normal price for screening mammograms.

After purchasing a voucher, patients may schedule their appointments within the next six months. To successfully redeem the voucher for the screening, it must be presented at the time of the appointment.
