Out of curiosity what does a calcium score cost in the US? Here in AB it cost $435. I only get it done once every 3 years so i don't consider that expensive
I think the province you live in also matters, I have lived in NF, NB and AB. I find that AB is significantly more open supporting a duel system of both public health care and private. Doctosr in AB appear to utilizes private MRIs, etc much more freely. Last year i just asked for an ecocardiogram and she was like ok and sent me to a private clinic as i did not fall into the guidelines for the public system supporting. Additionally i have some Dr friends and they all are sick of the gov restrictions on earning for doctors so they all run TRT, Botox, etc clinics on the side.
