Dear Patients,
We are excited to announce our partnership with EsoGuard to offer Esophageal Pre-Cancer and Cancer screenings!
Esophageal cancer is preventable with early detection of the pre-cancer (Barrett’s Esophagus).
Our inaugural screening day is
Friday, February 27th
9:30 AM to 12 PM
Each screening is about 15 minutes maximum, though the procedure is only about 2 minutes. Space is limited, so please contact us if you are interested in taking part.
Are you at risk for esophageal cancer?
If you answer YES to 3 or more from the list below, you are eligible to screening:
- Chronic acid reflux/heartburn or GERD symptoms
- Male
- Over 50 years old
- White race
- Tobacco smoking
- Obesity
- Family history of Barrett's esophagus or esophageal adenocarcinoma (cancer) in a first-degree relative
- Firefighter for at least 10 years
If you had an upper endoscopy in the last 5 years, or already have a Barrett’s Esophagus diagnosis, screening is not required.
Per Lucid Diagnostics: "All insurance plans accepted. There is no out of pocket cost if the claim is denied." Please see attached documentation below on their billing process.
PLEASE NOTE:
- Neither 4 Elements Direct Primary Care nor its affiliates are involved in the billing or the specimen management process of this screening.
- We are solely hosting the screening event space and the procedure is performed and informed consent is obtained by a member of the Lucid Diagnostics team.
- The order is required to be placed under a Physician, so 4 Elements Direct Primary Care will place the order on your behalf. However, NO doctor-patient relationship with 4 Elements Direct Primary Care is created by choosing to participate in this screening event.
- Results will be made available to you directly by Lucid Diagnostics and abnormal results should be reviewed with your Primary Care Physician.
