The Fernald Medical Monitoring Program (FMMP) offers female participants age 40 and older annual screening mammograms. A reminder notice is sent to participants one month before their mammogram is due. Radiographic films of all mammograms taken through the Program are filed in the FMMP administrative office on 6120 S. Gilmore Rd., Fairfield, Ohio 45014. When you schedule your mammogram, your old films are sent from the FMMP office to the mammogram test site so that the radiologist can compare the old to the new. You may have your FMMP screening mammogram at the following locations:

If you are scheduling your mammogram through FMMP and you have had a mammogram in the recent past at another location, it is important to obtain those films for comparison. We will send you a release to obtain these films. You will need to sign the consent and return to us ASAP. A delay in getting your outside films for comparison will delay the mammogram report.

You will receive your mammogram results by mail in about 3-4 weeks. If the radiologist requests you to have more films taken to complete your mammogram, we will notify you by phone. The additional views &/or ultrasound will be completed as a diagnostic mammogram at University Pointe Imaging.

If you do not schedule your mammogram through the FMMP, it is still important that you contact us so that we may send your old films for comparisons. Please call our office at 513-874-1074 or fax a signed release to 513-874-5480.

The Fernald Medical Monitoring Program offers diagnostic mammograms to participants who have a history of recent problems, for example, cancer, lump, or pain. A diagnostic mammogram is also done when the radiologist recommends more films to complete a screening mammogram. The Fernald Medical Monitoring Program offers a diagnostic mammogram through the Program at:

The radiologist will review your films while you are there and may request additional films or an ultrasound to complete your diagnostic mammogram. You will know the results of your mammogram before you leave.

Screening mammograms, diagnostic mammograms, and ultrasounds are covered by the Fernald Medical Monitoring Program. If a biopsy is recommended by the radiologist, you will need to contact your Primary Care Physician and your insurance company. The FMMP does not cover this procedure.
