A heart scan, also called a heart CT scan or cardiac calcium scoring, is a simple, noninvasive method that tells your doctor if you’re at increased risk for the most common form of heart disease – coronary artery disease (CAD). This scan identifies whether calcium deposits are present in the arteries of your heart. The more calcium deposits you have, the more plaque. And that can lead to a heart attack . I don’t have a primary care doctor. Can I still book an appointment? You will need to provide the name of a primary care provider you have seen in the past two years. If you don’t have a primary care provider, you can search for a doctor online or call 800-323-8622 . Do I need an order from my doctor? Yes, you’ll need an order from your doctor to schedule a heart scan. What if I have a paper order from my doctor? Your doctor needs to fax a written order to 847-573-4300 before we can schedule your heart scan. Once they’ve submitted your order, please call 855-908-7919 and ask to schedule your scan with a paper order. We’ll also need your paper order the day of your appointment, so remember to bring it with you. Is this scan covered by insurance? This scan, priced at $49, is self-pay only and your insurance company won’t be billed. There aren’t any other fees for this service. How do I make a payment? You can pay over the phone when you schedule the appointment. You also can pay when you arrive for your heart scan. Are there any other fees or prescreenings? The scan costs $49. There are no other fees. Does this heart scan involve radiation exposure? Yes, a heart scan involves a slightly higher exposure to radiation than a traditional X-ray. It’s generally safe. However, you can talk to your primary care provider if you have any questions. Can this heart scan be done even after having a bypass or a heart stent? If you’ve already been diagnosed with heart disease, a heart scan isn’t for you. Talk to your doctor if you have any questions. Can I get a heart scan if I have a pacemaker? We recommend against getting a heart scan if you have a pacemaker. Talk to your primary care provider if you have any questions. Does a calcium test for heart check carotid arteries too? No, it does not. How often should I have a heart scan? In most cases, you’ll only need one heart scan to assess your risk of heart disease. While there are exceptions, if you’ve had a previous scan with a positive score and have started statin therapy, a repeat scan isn’t necessary. Talk with your provider if you have any questions.
