Protect Your Health With a Lung Cancer Screening

Schedule Your Lung Cancer Screening

Most insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid, cover lung screenings for people at a high risk of lung cancer. But first, you’ll need an order from your physician.

Talk to your ProMedica Physician about a lung cancer screening. Once you receive an order from your physician, call 419-291-3000 or 800-479-8805 to schedule.

Who should get a lung cancer screening?

A lung cancer screening is recommended for those ages 50 to 80 with a high risk of lung cancer. You may be considered high risk if you:

• Currently smoke or have stopped smoking within the last 15 years.
• Have smoked at least one pack of cigarettes a day for 20 years or at least two packs a day for 10 years.

Early detection of lung cancer through screening is key to finding the cancer when it is easiest to treat.

Know the Facts About Lung Cancer

Lung cancer doesn’t have many symptoms in its early stages. However, some people with lung cancer may experience a constant or wet smoker’s cough, bone pain, coughing up blood, repeated lung infections or weight loss.
