Quick take

  • CHI Health St. Elizabeth is the lowest-cost option at $60 - $31 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $91, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
  • This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

How where you go changes what you pay for mammogram

The same mammogram bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Hospital Outpatient
$129–$1,036
  • Facility fee $51–$400
  • Professional fee $78–$636

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Hospital Inpatient
$154–$721
  • Facility fee $76–$85
  • Professional fee $78–$636

Estimated from CMS fee schedules + commercial rate multipliers

Nebraska Medicine and CHI Health (CommonSpirit) anchor the Omaha market, with Bryan Health and CHI Health competing in Lincoln. Nebraska prices generally run below national averages in urban markets but above average at rural critical access hospitals, reflecting the cost structure inversion common in frontier health markets. Mammogram pricing splits along two axes: screening vs. diagnostic classification and facility type. Screening mammograms are covered at 100% under the ACA's preventive care mandate for most commercial plans, but a finding during screening that triggers additional views or a diagnostic repeat converts a $0 visit to a cost-sharing event. Hospital-based breast imaging centers add facility fees that freestanding imaging centers don't charge - typically 2–3× higher for the identical study.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (4) report prices above $364, including Gordon Memorial Hospital at $400, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $91 versus $80 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Whether the scan happens in a hospital outpatient department (which adds a separate facility fee) or a freestanding imaging center is usually the single biggest driver of price for this procedure.

On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met ~$91
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$18
Out-of-network provider $200+

Frequently asked questions: mammogram costs in Nebraska

How much does a mammogram cost in Nebraska?

Across 48 Nebraska hospitals that publish prices, a mammogram ranges from $50 to $2,785, with a median of $91. Most facilities fall between $76 and $119. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get a mammogram in Nebraska?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Nebraska data is HARLAN COUNTY HEALTHSYSTEM at about $51. By metro, Omaha has the lowest median ($91). Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is a mammogram so much cheaper at some Nebraska hospitals?

Prices vary up to 55.7× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Nebraska, the median cash (self-pay) price is $91 versus a median negotiated rate of $44 - about 2.1× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a mammogram in Nebraska?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

What matters before you schedule

ASC vs. hospital

Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than ASCs or independent centers for the same mammogram - same outcome, very different bill. The ER charges the most of any setting and should only be used when the situation is medically urgent. Call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote at each setting you're considering.

Cost by type

Which type your doctor orders for this mammogram changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: Billed as preventive care - often covered at $0 under the ACA when you are average-risk and in-network.

Screening vs. diagnostic

Under the ACA, preventive services - including mammogram for average-risk adults - must be covered at $0 with no cost-sharing when performed in-network. The risk: A screening mammogram is covered at $0 under the ACA. If a finding requires additional views or ultrasound, it converts to a diagnostic mammogram and cost-sharing applies - the single most common mammogram billing surprise.

What to ask before you book

Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for mammogram before you schedule.
