About

Percentage of female Medicare enrollees ages 65-74 who received an annual mammography screening. The 2025 Annual Data Release used data from 2022 for this measure.

Evidence suggests that mammography screening reduces breast cancer mortality, especially among older women.1 Women starting at age 40 are recommended to get mammography screening.2 Barriers to mammography include life dissatisfaction, social isolation, job loss, insecurity around food and housing, lack of reliable transportation, and the cost of accessing health care.3 Black women face a 40% higher breast cancer mortality rate than White women and often develop aggressive cancers at young ages. Starting screening at 40, along with equitable follow-up and treatment, is essential to addressing this disparity.2
