Frequently Asked Questions about Heart Check

Your Heart Check visit may be covered by your insurance. If it is not covered by insurance, a small charge can be paid out of pocket. We will be able to provide a quote for any charges after verifying insurance information.

We welcome requests from anywhere in Wisconsin for children 0-17 with heart-related concerns. This request can come from a parent/guardian or family member who can provide medical history on the child.

You can request a Heart Check any time your child is experiencing chest pain, fainting or an irregular heartbeat. Heart Checks are also available to children who have concerns with their heart following a COVID-19 infection.
