Mobile mammography screenings, Essette transition + Behavioral Health moves in-house!

Mobile mammography: Bringing breast cancer screenings to your practice

The Alliance, in partnership with Alinea Medical Imaging, is offering on-site, no-cost mammography services to women ages 40-74 years old. These services can be offered at your practice!

How it works

Scheduling: Clinics schedule patients interested in the mobile mammography services, then send the list to Alinea, who verifies insurance and eligibility for the Every Woman Counts program.

Participants: Events require at least 30 participants to be scheduled. Flyers with event details are available to hand out to members.

Incentives: Members with Alliance as their primary insurance will receive a $50 Target gift card through our Point of Care Incentive program.

The mobile unit will be fully equipped with state-of-the-art digital mammography technology and staffed by certified radiologic technologists. Mammograms will be conducted in a private, comfortable setting and results will be sent directly to the patient’s primary care provider.

How to book

If you are interested in booking a mobile mammography event at your practice, email us at [email protected] or contact a Provider Relations Representative at 800-700-3874, ext. 5504. We will put you in touch with Alinea.

Behavioral Health webinars now available

Starting July 1, the Alliance will provide behavioral health services, previously offered through Carelon. Moving forward, behavioral health providers will need to contract directly with the Alliance to continue serving our members. This one-stop referral process will enable a more seamless and consistent experience for both providers and members alike!
