Frequently asked questions about Pet Scan in India
Related to Cost
1. What is the cost of tests before a PET Scan?
During the 4 hours before your appointment time, do not consume anything except water. Blood sugar will be checked before the scan. If the doctors find abnormal blood sugar levels, the scan will be canceled. This test cost is covered in the package, but the advance will not be refunded if the appointment got canceled.
2. Is the pharmacy and medicine cost included in the package?
The medicines available in the hospital are included in the package. However, any medications consumed by the patient outside the hospital charge extra.
3. How long the patient has to stay in the hospital after PET Scan?
PET Scans are usually carried out on an outpatient basis, which means you don’t have to stay in the hospital overnight. After the medicine is injected, you have to rest for about 45-60 minutes in the isolation room without moving and talking. After the test, you can go home and resume your normal activities. You have to stay outside the hospital and visit your doctor 1 or 2 weeks after the scan to get the results.
4. Is there any post-treatment expense after the scan?
PET scans are used to determine how much cancer is in your body and how far cancer has spread. After the scan, the real treatment will start for the particular types of cancer. PET scans are also used during the follow-up stages after treating cancer to catch potential recurrences.
5. Does insurance cover the PET Scan?
Many insurance companies offer coverage for PET scans as part of hospitalization expenses.
6. Is there any alternative to a PET scan?
You can go for nuclear medicine scan, MRI scan, and CT scan. But PET scan is more sensitive than other imaging tests and can also show changes in your body sooner.
