These can be billed through insurance programs, or, thanks to donations made through private funds (such as St. Helena Hospital Foundation's Elaine Mackie Fund and funding by the California Department of Public Health) mammograms can be provided at a reduced cost or at no charge to any woman.
One simple, painless way to know if you are at risk of osteoporosis is to have a bone density test, called a DEXA (Dual-Energy x-ray Absorptiometry). A DEXA is a very low level x-ray done within 30 - 45 minutes while you relax in a reclining position. It is able to detect the earliest signs of bone loss by x-raying four spinal vertebrae and one of the hips. A radiologist reads the results, writes a report and forwards it to your physician. (You can request a copy of the report from your physician at no charge.)
