Questions & Answers about Re-screening Q. Who needs to be re-screened? A. You do - The National Stroke Association (NSA) states that your risk of stroke doubles each decade after age 55. However, it is especially important to be re-screened if your previous tests show any abnormalities. Or if you have a family history of heart disease, stroke or diabetes. Q. Which screenings will be performed? A. Recommended screenings will be based on your previous results and medical appropriateness. They may include: • Carotid Artery Screening (Plaque) • Heart Rhythm Screening (Atrial Fibrillation) • Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening • Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening • Osteoporosis Risk Assessment • Plus any important tests that you may not have taken when you were first screened. Q. How long does it take? A. The professional health screenings generally take a little more than an hour. We recommend you allocate this amount of time for your next screening appointment. Q. Will insurance cover these screenings? A. Though your doctor may order preventive screenings, frequently insurance providers do not cover them unless you are showing symptoms. Unfortunately more than 80% of all people who suffer a stroke show no apparent symptoms or warning signs. That’s why Life Line Screening helps to bridge this gap by offering community-based screenings at an affordable price. Q. Can’t my doctor do these screenings? A. Most physicians can only order diagnostic tests if you are experiencing symptoms. They are usually not able to order them as a preventive measure because insurance will not cover them.
