I would imagine breast exam would be covered by all insurance for an adult, female preventative exam. but I suppose it could be variable based on insurance. Here is what Tri-Care states: https://tricare.mil/CoveredServices/IsItCovered/WellWomanExam

"TRICARE covers:

  • Well-woman exams without the requirement that they be provided in connection with a covered cancer screening or immunization
  • Breast exams
  • Pelvic exams
  • Pap Smears
  • HPV DNA testing when performed in conjunction with a Pap smear for women age 30 or older
  • Other screenings and services when ordered or recommended during the exam
You may have additional well-woman exams if your provider says you need them."

Medicare's answer is here: https://www.medicare.gov/sites/default/files/2018-10/10110-Medicare-Preventive-Services.pdf

"Breast cancer screening (mammograms)

Breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in women and the second leading cause of cancer death in women in the U. S. Every woman is at risk, and this risk increases with age. Breast cancer usually can be treated successfully when found early. Medicare covers screening mammograms to check for breast cancer before you or a doctor may be able to find it manually"
