What is EKG?
An electrocardiogram (EKG or ECG) records the electrical activity of the heart through electrodes placed on the skin. It detects irregular heart rhythms, heart attacks, and other cardiac conditions. The test is noninvasive, painless, and completed in about 10 minutes.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for ekg is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements. Self-pay patients can use Medicare rates as a benchmark when negotiating prices.

MRI
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses strong magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues inside the body. It does not use radiation and is commonly ordered for brain, spine, joint, and abdominal imaging. Scan duration is typically 30 to 60 minutes.
CT Scan
A CT (computed tomography) scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional views of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It is faster than MRI and frequently used for chest, abdomen, and trauma evaluation. The scan itself takes only a few minutes.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine the entire lining of the colon and rectum. It is the standard screening test for colorectal cancer and is recommended starting at age 45. Sedation is typically administered, and the procedure lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
Mammogram
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breast used to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Screening mammograms are recommended annually for women starting at age 40. The procedure compresses the breast between two plates and takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
