Boston Heart’s Advanced Testing Uncovers Your Risk!
Their scientists and researchers have dedicated their careers to discovering techniques to provide a more in-depth and accurate assessment of the makeup of cholesterol in order to determine cardiovascular event risk. Boston Heart combines advanced laboratory testing and analysis with individualized treatment recommendations to uncover and manage your individual risk.
Why is Boston Heart testing important?
The best strategy to prevent and manage heart disease is to understand your risk and embrace a heart healthy lifestyle. Traditionally, healthcare providers focused on a patient’s cholesterol levels as the primary indicator of risk. However, knowing your cholesterol levels is not enough. 50% of people who have had a heart attack have normal LDL (“bad”) cholesterol. Boston Heart’s research and science has advanced technology which goes far beyond standard cholesterol screening to characterize your individual risk of heart disease.
What is a Patient Access Kit and do I need to get one?
A Patient Access Kit contains a shipping box with an insulated cooler and ice packs to ensure the blood stays at the appropriate temperature during shipping, as well as collection tubes the phlebotomist will use to draw your blood. It also includes a Preparing for Your Appointment card with important instructions and reminders for preparing to get your blood drawn and what to do the day you get it drawn. Since Dr. Banks is a healthcare provider that already orders Boston Heart testing for other patients, we already have the necessary supplies and you do not need a Patient Access Kit.
Where do I get my blood drawn?
Boston Heart Diagnostics works with Sunrise Laboratories. All you need to do is bring the kit to them and they will be able to draw what is necessary.
Is the test covered by insurance?
Boston Heart Diagnostics will directly bill your insurance for our services. They are experienced in working with all insurance carriers to ensure timely and efficient processing of your claim. If you are under-insured or uninsured, they offer a comprehensive program of Patient Assistance Support Services. There may be out-of-pocket costs associated with the testing your provider determines appropriate for you.
If there are any questions you may have about billing and payment for this test, please do not hesitate to call our office to obtain more information!
