Breast cancer is a big deal. A mammogram is not.

In recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Beaufort Memorial is offering the opportunity to purchase screening mammograms for $99 through MDsave now through October 31. Mammograms are available in both Beaufort and Bluffton and can be purchased online at BeaufortMemorial.org/SaveOnMammos. Patients who purchase the $99 mammogram by the end of this month will be able to schedule their screening appointments any time within six months of purchase.

MDsave is an online healthcare marketplace designed for patients who have no health insurance or high-deductible health plans. Through MDsave patients can receive discounts on a wide range of medical services, including lab work, imaging tests, physical therapy, primary care visits and a variety of same-day surgeries – and avoid complicated hospital billing. Rather than receive separate invoices from the hospital and physicians, the services are bundled into one bill and paid directly to MD Save.

Patients who wish to purchase a $99 screening mammogram should:

Visit BeaufortMemorial.org/SaveOnMammos and select a service and preferred location now through October 31.

Pay online with a major credit card, debit card, FSA or HAS card and receive a service voucher.

Call 843-522-5015 to schedule an appointment any time in the next six months.

Present the voucher at the time of the appointment.
