Mobile Mammography Unit Coming to Currituck County – Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Early detection is one of the most effective ways to improve breast cancer survival. To make preventive screenings more convenient, the Currituck County Wellness Committee is partnering with Chesapeake Regional Healthcare to bring its Mobile Mammography Unit to the Currituck County Cooperative Extension parking lot in Barco on Wednesday, September 30, 2026, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Currituck County employees can schedule an appointment online at mobilemammocrhc.as.me/BNCCESep30. If you need assistance scheduling an appointment, please call 757-312-6400.
Women who received a mammogram during the January mobile event are not eligible for another screening at this September event. This is a great opportunity for those who were not eligible in January to take advantage of this convenient screening.
Who Is Eligible?
Screening mammograms are available for women who:
- Are 35 years of age or older
- Are not experiencing any breast health concerns or symptoms
- Have not had a mammogram within the past 12 months
What to Expect
The Chesapeake Regional Mobile Mammography Unit is a climate-controlled, private facility equipped with state-of-the-art 3D mammography technology. Appointments take approximately 20 minutes.
Please bring:
- Your insurance card
- A valid photo ID
Walk-in appointments will only be available if an appointment time remains open.
Insurance Information
Most insurance plans cover 3D screening mammograms at 100%. There are no age restrictions for Currituck County’s employee health insurance plan. If you have other insurance coverage, especially if you are under age 40, you should contact your insurance provider to verify your screening benefits before scheduling your appointment.
If you are covered by a Marketplace (ACA) plan or North Carolina Medicaid, please verify that your plan provides coverage for out-of-state screening mammograms, as services are billed through Chesapeake Regional Medical Center in Virginia. Chesapeake Regional is an in-network provider for Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina commercial plans.
Physician Order Required
North Carolina law requires a written order for a screening mammogram. Please ask your healthcare provider to fax your order to 757-312-6339 before your appointment.
If an order has not been received by the day of your appointment, you will be asked to sign a form authorizing Dr. Antonio Ruiz to serve as your referring provider. In that case, your mammogram results will be sent to Dr. Ruiz. To ensure your results are sent directly to your preferred healthcare provider, please have your provider fax the order before your appointment.
