| What
is the exam experience like?
You will lie on your back and be asked to hold your breath for a short time
at various intervals. The scanning process is quiet, private, pain-free and
takes less than 15 minutes. There are no injections or dyes.
Does my physician need to provide a referral to Vital Body Scan?
No. Many physicians are referring their patients to Vital Body Scan. Either
way, you can arrange for a consultation to discuss your needs.
How should I dress for the exam?
Wear comfortable clothes without metal closures, buttons or zippers. Women
should try to wear a sports bra and avoid metal supports or underwires. Private
changing rooms are available if needed.
Is any special preparation required?
No unusual preparation is needed for the Full Body Scan and Heart and Lung
Scans. The Virtual Colonoscopy requires one day of preparation. How quickly
do I get my results? Following your scan, you will schedule a personal consultation
with one of our Board Certified Physicians to take you on a detailed three-dimensional
tour of your body and discuss the results of your exam. You will also receive
a printed report for your personal records, or to share with your physician.
Will my health insurance cover the cost?
Vital Body Scan does not participate in insurance programs for our full
body, virtual colonoscopy and heart and lung scans, but some insurers will
cover wellness and preventative services such as screening scans.
Can I pay by credit card?
Yes. We accept all major credit cards, as well as personal checks and cash.
Cancellation Charges:
$75 Cancellation charge applies, if canceled within 3 business days.
