Why Life Imaging Encourages You to Bring Your Spouse?

Life Imaging doesn’t require your spouse for medical reasons. The request is tied to how their household research vouchers work. Each household receives one preventive research voucher every five years, and many patients want their partner to benefit from it before the opportunity expires.

A heart scan normally costs $699, but when both spouses attend, each person can receive a life-saving calcium scoring scan without paying out of pocket. For most couples, this makes the visit more worthwhile especially when heart disease often affects people who feel completely healthy.

By having your spouse there, both of you can complete the screening during the same visit, use the full benefit of the voucher, and avoid waiting another five years for eligibility to reset. It also ensures both partners have clarity about their long-term health, family history, and risk factors.

What This Means for Your Appointment

• One voucher per household
  Once used, it cannot be issued again for five years.

   

• Both partners can be screened together
  This helps families get a clearer picture of shared health risks.

   

• Large financial savings
  Two heart scans at no cost instead of $1,398 in standard pricing.

   

• Better awareness and decision-making
  Partners typically prefer to review results and next steps together.

   

• Completely optional
  You are never required to add additional scans or packages.

   

Bringing your spouse ensures your household receives the full value of the preventive program while giving both of you access to the same early detection opportunity.

What the Cleveland Clinic Says About Screening

The Cleveland Clinic highlights that preventive screenings can detect serious conditions long before symptoms appear, giving people the chance to take action early.
