After checking prices, I selected Heart Check America for the lung CT scan that I was going to have to pay for. Their price was $650 compared to $850 at Northwestern Memorial Hospital (NMH).
The whole office, waiting area and exam areas, was “the pits.” Worn surfaces, cheap seating. The space felt dirty and border line derelict.
After a 20 minute wait, I was ushered into the CT Scan room, told to lie on the table, hold my arms over my head, remain still while the table moved me through the donut shaped scanner.
Two days later the radiologist’s report arrive by email. I could understand nothing except I should have a follow-up CT Scan with contrast in six months because the radiologist could not discern what a grey area on the CT scan was.
