Find someplace you wanna visit, call and make an appointment and do it there. No doctors note needed.
I went somewhere different here in Nashville and it was only $50.

I called a couple of imaging places in Maine several months ago, all told me I needed an order from a doctor.
Did you call this particular company?
I looked at those companies and they are mostly a scam. It is not what we are talking about here, in fact here is a clip from the top of that page that most people of course miss or just ignore; " Life Line Screening does not perform a CCS , but we do perform the following four screenings that will help you understand the health of your heart:"
You need a doctors note for an actual screening, but they are very easy to get, just ask them for one…
I followed the link, and when I put in, for example, a Florida zip code close to where I have a relative, it gives some pretty odd ‘screening’ locations. Like ‘Holy Cross Lutheran Church’, Bahia Shrine Center’, ‘Oviedo Womans Club’…wow, all these places have CT machines??? lol
Edit - OK, as Monty said, after reading more closely, they don’t even do the CT. Thats pretty scammy to have that at the top of their page, then further down explain they don’t actually do them, just some other near useless tests.
“Life Line Screening does not perform a coronary calcium scan and you should speak to your doctor if this type of scan is of interest. Life Line Screening’s focus is on stroke and cardiovascular disease risk.”
That definitely is. Maybe I will call them tomorrow and ask about it and give them shit when they say they don’t do it. I will also call the place that I went to and ask for an appointment and see what they say about a doctor’s RX.
OK - I just called Life Line Screening and talked to a really confused woman who said they did not do “Coral Cardiac Screening” but wanted to sign me up for all the other tests. I told her my coral was fine.
I called the place I had mine done here in Nashville and asked about getting the test done - did I need a physicial referral (NO) and how much ($79). This place is affiliated with one of the hospitals here. Price has gone up since I had mine done (I paid $50).
Thanks for checking, appreciate it! I am in FL every so often, I’ll call around and see what I can find next time I am heading there. And, I am happy to hear your coral is good. lmao.
Edit - Maybe I can find an excuse to go to Nashville and have it done there…I really want to go to the Gibson Garage!! ![]()
