How to Get a Lung Screening
We're here to help guide you through the lung screening process. We can connect you to a patient navigator to offer emotional support, assist with scheduling appointments, help with insurance and financial challenges, and explain the screening process.
EMPOWERING OUR SCREENING NETWORK
The Screening Saves program is designed to energize the medical community and our screening network to mobilize, educate, and compel eligible patients to get yearly lung screenings. We host quarterly Navigator Network meetings to collaborate, share data and best practices. Catch up on our Navigator Network meetings in the videos below.
