What’s the difference between you and a GP clinic?
Your General Practitioner will typically spend around 15 minutes with you discussing your health. Executive Medicine is different. We spend between one and two-and-a-half hours with you going into detail and administrating extensive medical testing.
How can I check if I have heart problems?
The only way to uncover any early warning signs of cardiovascular disease, including the potential for a stroke or heart attack, is to get a heart check-up with a trained medical professional.
What tests are done to check your heart?
A number of tests can be carried out to check your heart’s health. Your on-site heart health assessment may include a resting ECG, exercise stress test and Lumify Ultrasound. Coronary calcium scoring and CT coronary angiogram may be recommended based on individual risk factors and previous test results (off site and at an extra cost).
We may also include test like the Ankle:Brachial Index (to look for evidence of plaque in the arteries), as well as analysing your height, weight, waist/hip ratio, body composition and fat measurement, blood pressure and resting heart rate.
How much does it cost to check for heart problems?
We offer affordable heart check-up services, comparable to the costs of getting your vehicle services. Contact us to learn more.
Why should I get a heart check?
You should get a heart check-up service because 70% of men and 50% of women who experience a stroke or heart attack do so unexpectedly. Strokes and heart attacks remain the biggest killer, but they are mostly preventable. By getting a heart check-up, we can identify warning signs and prescribe medication and lifestyle changes to prevent a stroke or heart attack.
How much can I claim from Medicare?
Medicare rebates vary from $80 to $250, dependent on the service and other factors.
What’s your cancellation policy?
If your appointment is cancelled or rescheduled within four working days of the scheduled date, this incurs a fee of 50% of the service cost, and if your appointment is cancelled or rescheduled within 24 hours of the scheduled date, this incurs a fee of 100% of the service cost. Cancellations made earlier will not be charged. We’ll happily rebook your appointment for when you’re next available.
How much does my health fund pay?
Sadly private health doesn’t cover prevention and screening.
