Your Annual Mammogram
Unless recommended earlier by a physician, your first mammogram should be done
between the ages of 35 and 40 and then every year after age 40. These helpful
tips will help your mammography experience feel a little easier:
How To Schedule Your Appointment
- Your physician must refer you for a mammogram. He/She will provide you a physician order form, also know as the Mammogram
Referral Form, for you to bring to your appointment.
- Call 864-255-1396 to schedule the date and time of your appointment.
- If you like, you may also pre-register over the phone or via the online pre-registration form. This will save some time with paperwork when you arrive for your appointment.
When You Schedule Your Appointment
When you schedule your appointment, you can also be "pre-registered." Please
have the following available to be able to answer questions:
- Primary insurance information, including policy/ID numbers
- Secondary insurance information, including policy/ID numbers
- Emergency contact and phone number
What To Bring To Your Appointment
- Your Mammogram Referral Form. If you do not have this physician order
with you, the exam cannot be done.

interpretation of your exam with St. Francis.
On The Day of Your Appointment
- Do not use any powder, lotion, perfume, or oils on your upper body
