According to the Medi-Cal provider contract and Medicare policies, women do not need a prior authorization for screening mammograms and other preventive services

It is important that we work together to ensure our members have access to these services. This can be supported by informing partners, like imaging centers, in order to ensure direct access to mammograms and other preventive services. For more information on the preventive services allowed with direct access please visit L.A. Care's Clinical Practical Guidelines.
