Thermography measures the infrared radiation (heat) which emits from the surface of the body. Areas of abnormality, pathology or disease within the body will be observed as either hot or cold depending on the metabolic activity. An ultra-sensitive thermal camera and a sophisticated computer are used to convert the infrared heat emitting from the surface of the skin into electrical impulses that are visualized in color, known as a thermogram.
Currently, there are no codes which would allow us to bill any insurance carrier. Insurance does NOT currently cover any thermographic screenings.
We accept cash, check, or credit card. Credit cards accepted are: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.
Some HSA/ FSA cards are accepted; however, some plans will require you to submit your receipt for reimbursement. Each Plan is different, we recommend that you contact your specific HSA/FSA to inquire about coverage.
Following your scan, your images will be reviewed by 3 Thermologists (doctors that specialize in analyzing thermograms). Then, a report containing their findings and recommendations will be sent to your patient portal. Once your report is ready, we will schedule a follow up visit to review this interpretation report together and further answer any questions you have, as well as provide any follow-up recommendations.
