Discovery has dropped annual coverage for mammograms and pap smears after a change in international cancer guidelines.
The American Cancer Society advises that women only receive a mammogram every two years, and a pap smear every three years. The company confirmed the decision after concerns were raised on social media about its decision to only cover mammograms every second year, and pap smears every third year.Did you knowno longer pay pathology cost for Pap smears annually but now only every 3rd year & Mamograms are no longer covered yearly but every 2nd year & if you’re booked in for a day procedure, read the fine print, there’s some sneaky changes there too.
