"Life Line Screening" - opinion on service

Sent to Health Experts September 02 11:18 AM

My Mother recently turned 81 years old. She received a pamphlet or flyer in the mail from Life Line Screening, based in Cleveland, OH, offering Stroke/Carotid Artery Screening, Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Screening, Peripheral Arterial Disease Screening and Osteoporosis Screening via a mobile unit all for the low price of $129.00. Is this legitimate? Is this a waste of her time? I checked the service out on the internet and it seems legit to me. Thank you for your help.

Greetings;

As a public servant and former Law Enforcement Officer I can tell you that 'Life Line' Service has been around as a nation-wide company for many years and I've always thought it was a great idea for elderly folks to have a service such as this. In my experience, 'Life Line' is a good service for mobile monitoring and emergency notification, and the price of the screenings seems comparable to others doing this type of testing.

It also good that you have checked out their website...perhaps you would like to check the validity of these extra services (just to be sure) with your local Better Business Bureau or the Nation Better Business Bureau at this website: www.bbb.org

Let me know if you need further help with this and ask for me again anytime!
