Payment Options
Self-Pay

Historically, health insurance companies will not reimburse for preventive procedures.  Therefore, LIFETEST requests payment for screening scans at time of service.  LIFETEST accepts VISA, MasterCard, check or cash.

In the state of Georgia, a physician referral IS needed for all radiological tests. 

As always, LIFETEST encourages all screening patients (self-referred and self-pay) to consult their physicians in determining the appropriate test for them and in interpreting their test results.

How much do the Preventive screens cost?

  • Heart/Coronary Artery Screen - $299
  • Lung Screen - $250
  • Coronary Artery/Lung Screen - $395
  • Abdomen/Pelvis Screen - $500
  • Full Body Screen - $850

LIFETEST in Atlanta is not a IDTF and cannot accept Medicare patients.


Corporate Discounts Available

For less than the cost of a training seminar, one of the newest business trends is for companies to send their executives for EBT™ preventive screenings .

Preventive Screening Scans are an attractive benefit to add to your executive incentive package, general healthcare benefits program or flexible spending program.

Detected early, many diseases may be reversed, treated or cured with simple lifestyle changes or medication.  Having healthy, reassured workers is empowering not only for the employees but the company's morale and bottom line as well.

Lower medical expenses can contribute significantly to keeping a company's group insurance premiums under control while avoiding the weeks and months of lost productivity that follow major illness.

LIFETEST works with companies and offers a discounted price for multiple scans.  For information and rates, please contact:
