For more than 16 years, Camden Clark's Pink Mammogram Fund has paid the full cost of breast screenings, diagnostic imaging, and biopsies for women who are uninsured or whose coverage was denied. There is no age rule, no income test, and no residency requirement. The patient does not get a bill.

The fund has covered thousands of mammograms. What it removes is the charge. It does not, by itself, say what any one screening found.
