Are Groupon Heart Scans from Life Imaging the Same as Their Regular Heart Scan?
Many people who see Life Imaging’s heart scan listed on Groupon want to know if the scan is identical to the one offered directly through Life Imaging. The answer is yes the scan itself is the same coronary calcium scoring CT. It uses the same technology, measures the same calcified plaque in the arteries, and produces the same calcium score you would receive during any standard appointment.
Any differences you may notice are usually related to the process, not the imaging. Groupon appointments may be assigned to specific days or time slots, and voucher check-in adds an extra step. But once you’re inside the scanner, the imaging experience and the way your results are explained are consistent with regular Life Imaging visits.
Some guests also mention that the team discusses additional scan options or long-term wellness plans after the appointment. This is completely normal and not tied to Groupon Life Imaging offers those conversations to nearly everyone because they’re part of the preventive care model.
Knowing this in advance helps set clear expectations and makes the Groupon option a simple, low-cost way to receive the same heart scan and calcium score offered during any other visit.

What Does the American Heart Association Say About Calcium Scoring?
The American Heart Association (AHA) explains that a coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan is one of the most effective ways to detect early plaque buildup in the arteries. The scan captures clear images of the heart and can reveal hard-to-see calcium long before symptoms appear, helping people understand their real cardiac risk.
AHA highlights that CAC scans:
- Provide clear pictures of the coronary arteries
- Help identify plaque early, before symptoms develop
- Offer valuable insight for people with risk factors
- Support better decisions about heart disease prevention
- Can guide doctors in personalizing long-term care
