Uninsured or Underinsured?
Middle Park Medical Center understands that the costs
of medical care can act as a barrier to patients seeking care for vital medical
services. MPMC recognizes the need to make certain key services as affordable
as possible in order to better enable the utilization of those services by
individuals who do not have insurance or who are seeking care for services not
covered under their specific plan.
Middle Park Medical Center has financial assistance
programs available.
Contact Patient Financial Counselors at (970) 724-3442
for more information.

In preparation of a
mammogram remember the following:
·
If caffeine increases the tenderness of your
breasts, you may want to reduce or eliminate caffeine from your diet for two
weeks before your mammogram.
·
If you have premenstrual breast tenderness, schedule
your mammogram when your breasts will be less tender. Possibly the week after your menstrual cycle.
You know your body best!
·
Do not use any lotion, powder or deodorant
on your breasts or under your arms the day of the exam.
