Insurance denied your screening mammogram. How was the claim processed?
Check whether a bilateral screening mammogram was processed under the correct screening benefit, frequency, eligibility, and claim details.
A screening mammogram denial often turns on how the claim was categorized, not simply whether mammography is covered. CPT 77067 generally supports bilateral screening mammography. Compare the screening order and claim with the benefit category and denial reason the insurer actually used.

Sort the screening mammogram denial
Use a structured no-document intake to compare the screening claim with the benefit and denial reason. MedClaimPlus helps organize the issue; it does not decide coverage or submit to your insurer.
What should you check first?
Start by getting the exact denial reason, confirming whether the provider can correct the claim first, and separating authorization, documentation, coding, and coverage issues.
Many denied CPT claims are still fixable when you sort out whether the problem is documentation, authorization, coding, or true coverage before you appeal.

Verify that the claim remained screening
Ask the provider whether the order and report described a screening study and whether CPT 77067 and related claim details accurately reflect what was performed. If the visit changed to diagnostic evaluation, ask how that change appeared on the claim.
Ask which screening rule was applied
Ask the insurer whether the issue was eligibility, frequency, age or benefit rules, network status, claim coding, another recent screening claim, or diagnostic-versus-screening classification. Do not assume a general preventive-care rule answers the plan-specific claim.
Separate a billing correction from a benefit dispute
A wrong code, duplicate, service date, provider, or claim category belongs with provider billing. If the claim is accurate, ask the insurer to identify the precise benefit provision or processing reason and whether reprocessing or reconsideration is available.
Protect any review deadline
If the insurer maintains a disputed coverage decision after the facts are confirmed, ask how to request review or appeal and what information the plan requires. Processes and deadlines vary by payer and plan. Verify the notice, plan instructions, and any deadline before relying on a correction or review path.
Prepare a focused follow-up
Keep the EOB, claim reference, provider statement, screening order, and call reference numbers organized. Ask each party who owns the next action. MedClaimPlus can help organize the claim reason, dates, and next questions through a structured no-document intake. It does not submit claims or appeals, decide coverage, or provide medical advice.
Does a screening mammogram denial mean screening is never covered?
No. The denial may reflect claim classification, timing, eligibility, network, coding, or a plan-specific benefit decision. Ask for the exact reason.
Can a screening claim become diagnostic?
The services and claim may change when diagnostic evaluation is performed. Ask the provider what was ordered, performed, and billed rather than trying to determine the code yourself.
Can MedClaimPlus determine whether the plan must pay?
No. MedClaimPlus helps organize claim information and questions. The plan, claim facts, provider records, and insurer review control the coverage decision.
