Testing is not covered by health insurance.
Wellness Check screenings are available to people of all ages. This diagnostic program can detect diseases in their early stages before they become serious and can help prevent many health problems before they develop. For children 12 years and younger, please consult the child’s physician before making an appointment.
Fasting is required for 8 hours before blood testing, although small amounts of water are permitted. Medications should be taken as prescribed. On the day of the screening, blood samples will be drawn by an employee of Excela Health and processed in one of its fully licensed and accredited laboratories. To comply with PA Department of Health regulations, results will be sent to the participant’s designated physician as well as the consumer.
