What is a CT scan?

A CT (computed tomography) or CAT scan uses X-ray technology and sophisticated computers to create highly detailed pictures of a body. It is good at seeing both hard structures (such as bone) and at seeing soft tissues (such as the liver or lungs). A CT is particularly good at detecting problems with blood vessels.

Is this test FSA-eligible?

Yes, our Complete Metabolic Heart Scan is considered a qualified medical expense and is FSA-eligible. When we bill you directly, we'll send an itemized invoice via email. You can then submit that invoice directly to your FSA administrator for reimbursement. Remember to check with your plan for any specific requirements, such as a doctor's note.

I’ve Had Bypass Surgery. Can I Get This Test?
