I chose the place I went to because they were having a sale on the procedure.
It cost $99.

Literally the same thing. A scan to get my calcium score in my heart. I had to lay on the table in an imaging machine. It was $99. Had it been a required procedure through insurance would likely have been hundreds if not thousands.
