This measure represents the percent of female Medicare enrollees age 67-69 that had at least one mammogram over a two-year period.
Estimates were calculated for the County Health Rankings by the authors of the Dartmouth Atlas of Health Care using Medicare claims data.
Evidence suggests that mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality, especially among older women. A physician’s recommendation or referral—and satisfaction with physicians—are major facilitating factors among women who obtain breast cancer screening. The percent of women ages 40-69 receiving a mammogram is a widely endorsed quality of care measure.
