Is this test needed before you can have a mammogram? Thanks!

Ask your doctor. That's the person who would know, right?

In my area of WV, no.  

Covid testing is only required prior to procedures in same day surgery, and the operating room.

I know someone who needed one before her colonoscopy

I had my mammogram done in July.  I didn't need to have a Covid test done.  Open entering facility, there was a desk...asks name and why you are there.  Takes temps, asks a couple of questions and then gave me a sticker to put on my shirt with the date on it and let me in.

It might be. You should check.   You and the technician will be in close proximity. Not to mention there will have been other people passing through/ using that machine before you.  If it were me, I would find out their protocol as soon as I could AND try to schedule the FIRST appointment of the day. hopefully they wipe the machine down last thing the day before so it would be the cleanist it's going to be all day first thing in the morning.

Thanks for answering so soon. I have heard that it may vary state to state & even from one facility to another in your city/area. Have a nice evening!

@MOMMAVik ....the hospital I work for does not require a Covid test for a mamogram.  It is not an invasive procedure.

I'm going in September for a mammo and sonogram. I wasn't told I needed a test, I was told I needed to wear a mask. Call the facility where your having the test to make sure.
