Mammograms In Action works directly with local physicians and health care providers to identify candidates who are in need of assistance, having been turned away from screenings because of their age, their lack of ability to pay or because they have lost their health insurance with no other means of payment. MIA provides funding for diagnostics and biopsy as prescribed by a medical doctor through grants to locally based breast centers and breast health care providers. MIA is not a treatment provider and therefore does not assist in the funding for treatment in the case of malignant diagnosis.
