There are no special prep instructions for this test.
Please allow 30 minutes for the entire process, as emergency room patients will take priority.
Because it is a screening examination, cardiac calcium scoring is not covered under most insurance companies or Medicare. Payment is due at the time of service. The cost of the exam is $87 out of pocket or $145 if billed through insurance and is denied. We accept cash, check, or credit card.
The price includes both the scan and the review and reporting of the results by the cardiologist.
The results of your exam will be interpreted by a cardiologist and a written report will be mailed to your home.
This test is performed at OSF St. Joseph Medical Center from Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Please enter through the Main Entrance (Entrance A).
Please call Central Scheduling at (309) 661-5160 to schedule an appointment.
