Life Line Screening FAQ

How can Life Line Screening offer preventive health screenings at such a low cost?

Life Line Screening partners with community organizations to offer health screenings, so the company doesn’t have the expense of clinics or offices around the country. Life Line can pass on the savings of having such low overhead to consumers.

How are Life Line Screening’s ultrasound technologists trained?

All Life Line Screening ultrasound technologists complete formal ultrasound programs and clinical rotations. Some technicians also complete other specialized training.

How often should I get Life Line Screening’s preventive health tests?

Consider your risk factors, such as family history of diseases, and previous health screening results to determine the frequency of testing. Many Life Line customers have health screenings completed every year at around the time they have their annual physical.

Can my doctor order preventive health screenings from Life Line?

Most doctors will not order preventive health screenings based on risk factors alone because most insurance companies won’t authorize or pay for the screenings. However, you should show your doctor the results from your Life Line Screening test if it reveals a potential health problem. Your doctor can order further tests or treatment at that point, and insurance should cover the cost.

How detailed are Life Line Screening’s test results?

Screening results let you know if you have a health condition, but do not determine the severity. If your results are outside the normal range, you should see your doctor for comprehensive testing.

Conclusion

Life Line Screening preventive health screenings are a convenient, non-invasive, and affordable way to identify risk for potential health issues even before you experience any symptoms. Understanding what your body is NOT telling you enables you to be proactive about your health and work with your doctor to put together an action plan to prevent disease.

Life Line Screening had everything organized. They went from point A to B and the next thing I knew, it was time to go home.

They sent the results to my doctor and he keeps telling me to monitor one problem I have, and everything has been working well and nothing's changing. He found it accurate, so he didn't send me anywhere else to get checked.

I had a preventative screening done about five years ago. I have a history of high cholesterol and it just felt like a prudent thing to do, so I did it. I found it beneficial. Then Life Line contacted me months ago and said, "Hey, we're in your area again. You should probably do this."

I thought I should, and I told my husband he should do the same. He agreed, and we both went on the same day. Our appointments were five minutes apart.

Life Line was very good. I had an appointment scheduled in early September and I had to cancel that due to a family issue. I was able to reschedule it for October.

They told me, "Well, we can't give you a refund but you can come back." At the time, I didn't know when I would ever be able to come back but as it worked out, I was able to go in October.

The technicians were very kind and we didn't have to wait very long, which was great. They explained all about what they were doing, and they did their business. They thanked us, and we left.

As far as the results, we got emails within just a few days with a note that the hard copies would come in the mail. They did come a couple of weeks later with an actual physical hard copy of the report.

Overall, doing the Life Line screening was pretty efficient, and right from the checkout desk to the last station we went to, everybody was really friendly and nice. It was totally painless. That always matters.

Life Line Screening does a great job and it's a great service. I can't tell people enough about it. I did the screening three times now. It was very consistent. It was fast and efficient. I was in and out in half an hour at the most. This time, I got bloodwork in an abdominal aorta.

The only thing is I went into the local clinics and said that I had been diagnosed with an abnormal aortic aneurysm and that I wanted to get another test. It's been six months since I'd seen Life Line. They said, "Okay. Well, you have to be referred by a doctor."

I said, "Well, I have the results right here from Life Line Screening." They care less about Life Line Screening.

I would have to get a doctor to pay that fee, and then turn around and get a referral from the doctor to a cardiologist, which might be the next six months out from there if I can find one that will deal with them. So, I just have no other option.

My experience with Life Line Screening was quick, easy and pleasant. I was a little confused about one part of it. It said something like I had a slight chance of diabetes and the other part said it was a severe condition for me. So, that confused me.

I'm gonna take that information to my cardiologist. I talked with him about it and he said, "Well, yeah, just bring it to us." I need to make a copy of it and take it to them so they have that information.

My wife passed away from a sudden heart attack back in May. So, my daughter made me change doctors and go to the doctor who she's been going to all her life.

So, I went for a physical and my doctor said, "If you had this done at the hospital, these tests, it would cost you X amount of dollars. But there's this organization that does this, where it would be less expensive and I think it'd be good for you to do it." So, I did it. I scheduled myself to go in and have the screening done.

The Life Line techs were very helpful, explained everything to me before we did the test, and then doing the test, and why were we doing the test, what we were looking for, and it was all pretty clear.

They did a good job and I was happy that I did it. I was just a little confused about the information that I got back on one item. Overall, I was happy with it and I'll do it again.

I paid for some extra stuff. They checked my arms and legs for blockages. They put things around my arms and around my legs and checked the pressure to see if there was any difference.

They checked my Vitamin D, and they check my aortas for calcium buildup or blockage in my neck. That would be artery disease. They checked for that. It was fine. They checked for osteoporosis, lipid panels, and did a body mass index and checked the glucose.

They checked the C-reactive protein and they checked prostate-specific antigen, heart risk assessment, blood pressure, congestive heart failure, stroke, diabetes risk, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and lung cancer.

Then, they rated it. It was overall low. It was just confusing that my blood pressure was fine but I had a high chance of having a stroke. That doesn't make any sense to me.

Overall, everybody should be tested for that stuff. I had a positive experience and I'm glad I did and I'd do it again and I'd recommend it to anybody to do it.

Life Line Screening was okay, but it was a waste of time for me, personally, because I already have a cardiologist and a pulmonologist, and I keep up with my family physician. There was a stroke and heart stress test, and a whole lot of sitting around for a few minutes to get the deal done.

The company that I work for sets up our Life Line screening. It's part of their health and wellness program. I did the carotid and the aortic screening. It was done in a group setting. They did it in a community church. They were all pretty helpful.

It's just that there were like 200 people that showed up for the screening. I'm not a big people person, so I don't like the huge settings but other than that, it was a great experience. The check-in was good.

The screening techs were professional. There was no wait. They greeted me and they were friendly. They did their job and were in and out. They were professional and, apparently, do it often enough where they knew what they were doing and were competent. They interacted with me. All was good.

I'm satisfied with the results. It made me have to go forward and have things checked out if needed correction. I had an aneurysm. They told me it increased from one to three, three to five. I'm getting a follow-up test on it Monday. The only thing is it would be nice if they had a veteran's discount.

We've had a good experience with Life Line Screening. We got everything and then we added C-reactive protein screening. It's an extra test to see how much inflammation you have in your body. Their techs have always been very professional.

We were there about a month ago and they got our record mixed up. We had to change the scheduling time, and it got a little unorganized but they figured it out and everybody was very nice.

This review is not about the quality of the medical tests. It is about the bureaucrats that run the show. They have no organized the deal that you have to pay for tests that you do not need and do not want. I am a senior on a fixed income and having an incredibly rough time making it.

I wanted one carotid artery test but was informed I would have to get the entire package. After saying that was not possible, they said they could see if they could do anything else.

For 15-20 minutes I had to answer all these questions which their files would probably have the info listed already which made me very late for a meeting. Then they informed me they could knock off. 1 test for $20 less. I told them I could not afford it.

They told me they had a payment plan for the 3 tests that I did not want. I informed them I needed food more and hung up angry, hostile etc. However, I badly needed one test which I will never get.

I am tired of the bureaucrats running the show in the medical field. There are 2 types of people in the medical field. 1. Those that want to help others. 2. Those that want money. The medical field has become so dominated by those who want to make money that it is disgusting.

I should qualify for medicare paying for that test but I guess they think otherwise. How many people die every year because medical insurance makes decisions not best for the welfare of the patients.

The screening with Life Line was a little intense because they found a blockage and I was in and out of there in record time, and they told me I needed to follow up with my primary care physician within 24 hours. It was a federal holiday. I went to the emergency room, and it was kind of a show. It was difficult at best.

Then I followed up with a primary physician that was not mine because mine was not available. She said because of my age, she would have never done that screening. I've since gone to see a vascular surgeon and had other tests done. I do have a blockage and I'm now on cholesterol medicine.

I probably wouldn't go back to Life Line Screening because they scared me and it might have been a little unnecessary. I did a screening for carotid artery and because I rushed out so quickly, I don't think they did all the tests that I paid for originally. So, I was a little disappointed about that.

They sent me out with a thumb drive that nobody's gonna put in their computer, not a hospital, not me or anybody else. So, that really is a waste of Life Line Screening's money. I would have preferred a hard copy.

I had to ask to take a picture of something before I left because they weren't gonna give me a copy of it.

Life Line found something that we wouldn't have found at my age had they not done it, but on some of the other tests that they were supposed to do, my primary physician said, "You know, that's really only in men, you shouldn't even do that on women."

It was not clear, and it was a little too scary for me. So, I probably would not recommend them. I won't badmouth them, but I won't go back and see them.

My wife and I lead a really good lifestyle. I'm 60 years old. I don't smoke, drink or do drugs, I keep a pretty regimented diet, and I walk four miles a day five days a week.

At Thanksgiving dinner in November of last year, I laid down and took a nap after I overate, and I started hearing my heartbeat in my right ear, which I felt was suspect. It kept going on.

Finally, in the middle of December, I called my general practitioner and went to see him. He put a stethoscope to my ear and said, "You need to go get this taken care of," i.e. "I want you to go to a vascular guy or a cardio guy."

In the meantime, I got a solicitation in the mail from Life Line. My wife said, "Looks good, smells good, walks good. Let's give it a shot."

In the middle of my test, the technician lady said, "Ooh, not liking this. You got some really serious blockage in your carotids. Here, we're gonna put this on a thumb drive, you need to go to your doctor today."

I called my doctor back and I said, "Good news, bad news. Good news, I'm alive. Bad news, they see something that you haven't. Could I come in today?"

My doctor sent me to a cardiologist who ended up looking at the thumb drive and doing the same CRT stress test. I got 90% blockage in my left carotid and 80% blockage in my right. The general practitioner kind of patted me on the back and said, "Good call. Glad you went. Yada, yada, yada."

I like Life Line. They told me to show up at such time. I showed up 15 minutes early and they took me in straight on time. The people were nothing short of articulate, kind and generous. They were all righteous people. The technicians at Life Line are extremely nice, professional and very engaging cool ladies.

I feel so strong about Life Line because it was a good interceptor for me. I think that they have saved my life because this is all pre-stroke.

Life Line makes you comfortable and they do the screening pretty quickly. I had the five screenings done. I've had it done three different times over the years. The service is a little expensive, but if they find something then it's worth it.

The latest time when I went to Life Line, I did a carotid artery test and the girl told me I needed to see a doctor as soon as possible. She said, "Don't wait around because it's very important for you to go see somebody."

We went to see our doctor. It was not anything life-threatening at the time, but it was an awareness of something going on.

I have all my paperwork over the years. So, I'm always able to measure up against it. AThere were times when I did something about a problem, and the next time the results were better. I have recommended Life Line to people.

I would recommend people to go through the process because you never know what's in your body. It could be something seriously wrong with the part that they check over. It's just a scan, but still, it could save your life.

Going with Life Line seemed economical. I got along good with the screening technicians, and I was comfortable during the screening tests. I took five different screenings.

Sometimes, Life Line has a little trouble making the right connections. Sometimes, they have conflict with time settings. I think if you get appointments, you should be able to get in there and get it within 5 or 10 minutes of the original time.

I did have a time or two where I was supposed to get a test a certain time and I had a meeting that I had to be to and I had to cancel that one. I said, "I'm sorry, but I got to be at this other meeting."

I had waited there probably an hour and a half that particular day and there was no way I could get it to work. I had everything paid upfront so I just cancelled it and they credited my money back to me.

The only trouble I had was sometimes they're on time and sometimes they're not. Also, every time, I had different people.

The Life Line techs were nice people. I was comfortable. I showed the results to my doctor. He looked at them and said it looked like it was okay. I would tell other people about Life Line.

This company is a scam!!! My two doctors would not even look at the so called Lifeline Screening results. They looked at me like I was an idiot.

That said, after paying for a dead horse, that I take full responsibility for being ignorant, Lifeline Screening continued charging my credit card at 19.95 per month for a year. My caretaker caught it.

I am fighting to get the stolen funds back. My Credit Card co. did 4 successful chargebacks but going to file fraud charges for the balance of stolen money. Check the BBB before you do anything with this company.

310 complaints in three years. Check their reviews online and you will see why they are a suspect company. You need to look at this company closely before you fall into their money trap.

I had appt. Never read confirmation email or text. Walked in. Did not seem appropriate for tests medical.

Each area had a small cubicle where they tell you to lay down on a gurney that I don’t think is sterilized and somebody just got up.? The pillow provided everyone used. Gross. I questioned it and she put a paper towel to cover the back of my head! Both areas did this. Very unsanitary!

Not on a high medical degree of sanitation. Will not ever do again. Covid is there. Change the pillow covering and cover the bed like any clean office would! Asking for my money back!

I thought to get an EKG screening. I did it through Life Line Screening. The process was good. I was in medicine so I knew a little bit of what was gonna happen but they explained everything. I feel good about the results.

Life Line's staff is good. I'm going through a tough time right now, and the screening has been sort of put off because I've got shingles. But overall, Life Line is good.

The Life Line screening techs were very polite. Most of them were nice. There was a couple of them who's kind of snippy though.

I didn't like that Life Line didn't mail my wife's results of the screening the last time. We both went together. I got mine and she didn't get anything from them. I paid the same for both of us. I should not have to call them to get what they're supposed to send.

I got my results about a week after. They send the results on a paper, and I'm sure they sent my doctor a copy of it. He would know what it is, but it's hard for us to just go through and see what that is.

I know most of it, but I don't understand some of it. They could make it a little more like people talk.

Other than that, they waited on us right away. We had a few minutes to wait, but it was not bad. The location was nice over there. The people were nice.

My mother died of a stroke and we got Life Line's ad. We've used it ever since. I had a blocked carotid artery and I got in touch with my doctor after the results from the Life Line Screening. He sent me to a specialist and he had me on medication for a year.

In 2016, I had a surgery to get the blocked artery. My husband and I were tested again in February of 2019, and my husband was fine, except they said he had high blood pressure, which was very unusual for him.

This was on a Thursday, and he had an appointment with our primary doctor on the following Tuesday. I said, "Well, that's good. You're going in for your physical because we've got to mention this high blood pressure."

Unfortunately, he had an AVM stroke the Sunday before but he survived it. He collapsed. We were out for lunch, and I mentioned that his blood pressure was quite high when he was tested at Life Line Screening on Thursday.

So, we got a blood pressure cuff and put it on him. His blood pressure was sky high. I got an ambulance and got him to the hospital and it saved his life. Life Line has worked beautifully for the two of us.

I got 13 screenings at Life Line. The screening tech was alright. I went to the doctor and showed him my screening. They took blood and everything, and found out that my blood count was low.

I don't think Life Line Screening is doing something right. They ran that scanner into my neck. It was painful and I think all they're doing is flattening out the artery.

The technicians in Fort Morgan were really nice, but I didn't like the attitude of the lady that takes in all the information over here in Burlington. They got two technicians and they were doing the carotid artery, and they were cramming that thing in my neck on the left side.

They were taking forever on it for some reason. Then one of them called the other one over and told him to look at it. He said, "Well, I don't see what you're seeing." How could he come up with a correct assessment?

I spent a lot of money with them, and they're charging me 400-something. I paid at Burlington and I had something else to do, so I had to cancel it and went to Fort Morgan. I ended up paying more money. I never got the bone scan that I put down for.

So, I've had a bad experience with them lately. Also, my brother's been trying to get ahold of them. He said he never can get ahold of them to get in.

I had a good experience with Life Line Screening. They were helpful but still, I've been there several times, and they never have found any problem. I am short of breath. I'm seeing my heart doctor today, and he's gonna do the stress test.

Life Line stuck some things on me, shot me with little magnetic things and then they came back with something that says I had a partial blockage in one of my arteries. All in all, things went well.

I've been going to Life Line for a few years. I couldn't tell you when the first one was. Everybody's friendly, happy and well-versed in what they're doing.

I thought preventative screening was a good idea and it was at a good price at Life Line. I got five screening for a certain price. The results seemed all right.
