Please explain who has the power to reduce charges for breast cancer screening?

Breast cancer: There are a number of charges that are expensive to patients including by not limited to chemotherapy, radiation therapy and surgery. Since i perform reconstructive surgery i can only comment on those. In the us there are several issues with insurance and how they treat their clients and physicians. That being said the fee schedules are provided to administrators of practices and vary regionally.

No one person: Like anything that costs money there is no one person who dictates what things cost. The cost of screening is usually based on the equipment, pay for the staff, malpractice insurance, rent for the offifce, etc. Just like the cost of a resturant meal is related to the factors that it takes to make that meal. There are women's health clinics that may offer discounted rates, sometimes even free.
