Wait-times
What happens if I have to wait a month or two for a screening mammogram?
Screening mammograms are for women with no breast problems and are not considered urgent care. With 38 centres and three mobile services available in the province, most centres’ wait-times are within a six week time-frame. From time to time, some centres will become busier resulting in slightly longer wait-times.
If you are unable to have a screening mammogram appointment at an SMP centre or mobile van within two months with a travel time to the facility/van within one hour, contact your health care provider. Your health care provider can book a screening mammogram at any diagnostic facility and it will be billed to MSP.
