| My doctors prescribed a diagnostic mammogram but I found all Fairfax radiology centers are booked up till mid February. What can I do? Thanks for any help. |

Beware that Virginia Hospital Center charges a separate facility fee for mammograms that is not generally covered by insurance. I got hit with a $500 fee for my “free” yearly mammogram. I ended up fighting it with my insurance but it was a pain. |

| I would try calling Inova. |

| Ask to be put on the waitlist while you look for other options. I was able to get an appt within a day when the same thing happened to me. |

| I think it's probably user error - try calling and see if they can help? They've always been helpful to me. |

| I just had one last week and it was totally empty. Two people at the front desk and I was the only patient in the waiting room. |

| I was able to get one scheduled within a week’s time. I would try calling and if your preferred location is booked ask about one of the other locations. |

| Did you call or just use the website? They’ve always gotten me in much faster than that. |

Yes, call them. And if they’re really booked, go to Washington radiology. |

| Bay Radiology in Annapolis. Diagnostic and all needed follow-up same-day on-site. I will literally never have a mammogram in a place that doesn’t do this. |
