The issue of insurance coverage for EKG testing can be complex, as it often depends on individual health insurance plans and the specific reasons for the EKG testing. Most health insurance policies are mandated by the Affordable Care Act to cover specific preventative care services, but EKG tests are not always considered part of standard preventive screenings for heart disease. However, in situations where a patient exhibits signs or risk factors, including a family history of heart disease, chest pain, or shortness of breath, insurance may cover an EKG as part of their preventive care. Our committed staff will assist you in comprehending your insurance coverage and will walk you through the procedure. If an EKG is recommended as part of your preventive care routine, we can help assess your risk factors and provide guidance on insurance coverage. If your insurance does not cover the EKG testing, we can talk to you about more payment methods as well. Please note that while an EKG test might be covered by insurance, related services like follow-up appointments or further testing may not be covered under the preventive care provisions of your policy. We encourage you to review your insurance policy or, to find out about coverage, speak with your insurance company.
