Prevention

Cardiovascular Prevention

Detailed risk assessment, and prevention that follows from it.

Cardiovascular risk can be assessed in considerably more detail than a standard cholesterol panel provides. This program does that assessment and acts on what it shows, well before an event.

What it involves

  • Advanced lipid and inflammatory markers
  • Blood pressure assessment, including out-of-office readings
  • Fitness and functional capacity measurement
  • Family history and, where appropriate, genetic risk
  • A monitored prevention plan

Coverage

Insured and uninsured components

This program combines insured and uninsured components. Insured physician services and any medically necessary investigations are billed to MSP as usual. The uninsured components — assessment depth beyond what MSP covers, planning, coordination and ongoing monitoring — are covered by your membership.

This program does not guarantee access to or replace a General Practitioner, Family Physician, or any Medical Service Plan (MSP) insured primary care services. It also does not provide expedited access to MSP-covered laboratory tests, diagnostic investigations, or specialist referrals.

How to access this program

Whether this program is clinically appropriate for you is a decision made with your physician after assessment. Membership does not imply that every program will form part of your plan.
