I believe the billing statement was over $10k for the CT scan.

You can reverse CT by taking vitamin K-2, MK-7.
Look at Dr. Berg's video.

Does Medicare cover it?
If not, what is the total out-of-pocket cost for this procedure (where you live)?

Our insurance (Medicare + Medigap Plan G) did not cover it. It did not require pre-approval, however I do believe the referral from my PCP was required by the hospital system that performed it. It cost us $156.

At least it was supposed to have cost us $156. $75 was paid to the hospital at the time of the scan. $81 was billed to Medicare, which they declined. We haven't been invoiced for that, yet.

My doctor got me approved for a stress test. My insurance at the time required pre approval. We fibbed a bit about me having chest pains to ease the process.

My stress test was covered by Medicare. No fibbing required, being as the calcium score for which we paid raised a couple red flags.

"CT scan," in the context of the quoted post, refers to Computed Tomography scan. Aka: "cat scan."

This reminds me that I should be getting one of these done again soon with my family’s history; my grandfather (who I never got to meet) died of a heart attack when my Dad was just 12 and my Dad had a quintuple bypass at age 58 himself.

I did get one maybe seven or eight years ago, and my Cardiologist seemed unconcerned about the results, and actually did not seem too enthusiastic about this type test in general as far as being able to predict true heart issues.
