You don't need to be referred to Christie Clinic for Cardio Check. Cardio Check is open to everyone, regardless of your health care provider.

Because this is an elective procedure, insurance will not cover the cost of Cardio Check. However, if you ask Larry Shurbet, a man whose life was saved by Cardio Check, it is well worth paying the $375 cost out of pocket. "It gave me a new lease on life," he said. After finding out he had major blockage and had already suffered a mild heart attack, Shurbet was able to have a stent placed in the artery before the blockage could cause further damage.

To make an appointment for Cardio Check, please call Christie Clinic Radiology at 217-366-1285, and ask for a Cardio Check Test. The test is currently being performed on the third floor of the main clinic in the Radiology Department.
