HEAR FROM OUR PATIENTS:

Kathy Hus


''I had a Healthy Full-Body Screen and was very surprised at how easy it was! My appointment was during my lunch hour and in 10 minutes I had detailed information about my heart, lungs, kidney, and liver. Taking a few moments to have a Healthy Life Screen is the best peace of mind.''

Q. WHO SHOULD CONSIDER HAVING A SCREEN?
A.
If you are 30 years or older especially with a family history of cancer, heart disease, diabetes or high blood pressure this screening can be a valuable tool in your health care. It has also been shown that those with a sendentary lifestyle can benefit from early screening for prevention of disease.

Q. WHAT IF I AM CLAUSTROPHOBIC?
A.
There is no need to be concerned about claustrophobia since there is not a long tunnel or enclosed space with the machine. You may also communicate with our staff at all times.

Q. WILL MY INSURANCE PAY FOR THIS?
A.
Most insurance companies will not cover the cost of a Full-Body screen since it is considered preventative. However, when you are referred by a physician because of high risk factors, some non-HMO insurance plans may reimburse you a portion of the exam. Please check with you insurance.

Q. HOW LONG WILL MY SCREEN TAKE?
A.
The new Ultrafast Multi-Slice CT scan is exactly that! FAST! Actual screening time is only 15 minutes. Please allow 1 hour for your visit which includes your exam time and physician consultation.
