Perhaps the doctor has had more diagnosis success with the ultra sound than the mammogram. Most protocol is mammogram first and then if uncertain, an ultrasound. Insurance companies prefer this chain of events. Some insurance companies are balking at MRI for high risk patients, which is a newer tool in the diagnosing bag.
Keep in mind that doctors don't want a lot of call backs from insurance companies. I think a bit of proactive advise is to check what your insurance will cover and for what diagnosis.
