Beginning this month, Health Chek will be at the store the first Wednesday of the month from 10-11. You must register in advance with Health Chek. See below for more info:
This is a new service we're offering because we think people would benefit from it. Our friends at Southtown Health Foods have been having Health Chek come to their store for years, so we feel like they are reputable and trust them.
Health Chek is a mobile service that offers medical tests (primarily blood test labs) for a wide variety of health issues. They list the prices for each specific medical test in advance on their website, and there are no hidden fees. You do not need a referral, and the medical results are private and sent only to you specifically (though you can choose for results to be sent to your physician).
To make an appointment, you need to do it through Health Chek by calling them at 219-322-7041, and payment is taken at the time of the test through Health Chek (they said they take cash, check, or credit card). They offer hundreds of tests, and have them listed on their website with the prices. The costs listed are the prices you pay if you want a test. There are no additional fees (which we like, so you know what the true prices are). Also, each month they have specials on certain tests (which are listed in advance on their website).
Again, we are not affiliated with Health Chek, and we don't receive any money from them, we just thought it was a nice thing to offer since we think it could definitely benefit some of our customers who may not have a regular physician that they see, but still want to get a blood test or health test (which we always think is a good idea).
See this flyer on their website for more information.
Additionally, if you have a primary care physician and insurance, some of these tests may be available to you for free or a discounted rate through your doctor. Health Chek does not go through insurance, and requires payment for tests at the time of service (which can also be an advantage in some ways since you can choose whichever medical tests you may want to get, without having to get approval or a referral).
Appointments need to be made in advance. Health Chek will be at the store each month on the first Wednesday.
Note: the tests will be done in a private area at the store away from any customers.
Again, we are not affiliated with Health Chek, but we feel it is a service some of our customers would find value in.
