April 03 2020 7:59PMLife Line Screening did not tell me that if I cancelled the appointment, they would not refund the $154.00 paid in advance. The reason for cancelling the appointment was because they moved the screening site to a different site farther away with no time for me to arrange transportation.They told me I would receive a “gift card” to be used at another time.
This did not happen. A second customer rep said that if I was not told I would not receive a refund at the time of paying, Life Line would review the recorded conversation and refund the money. This did not happen.When I asked how would I know when they might be in my area, she said they would notify me. Like I will hold my breath until that happens based on their previous actions. I learned a $154.00 lesson! Be VERY CAREFUL when dealing with Life Line Screening, ask very detailed questions and if possible record the conversation.Doris B.Raymore, MO. February 10 2020 5:38AMI have no problem with the screenings performed by Lifeline Screening, I have had them on and off for a number of years.
They alerted me to some modest carotid artery plaque which I have had my doctor treat me for.The reason I assess Lifeline Screening as 'bad' is because they enrolled me in their VIP program where I pay $19.95/ month - without my permission. It has taken me some time to realize that I have paid them over $200 without realizing it (my bad). However, when I call the number I have been given to tell them to cease taking a $19.95 payment out of my credit card every month, I am put on hold and asked to 'wait for the next free agent.'
After being on hold for 10 minutes or so listening to a taped female voice telling me to wait a message comes on telling me to leave my name number and a short message and someone will call me back - then they hang up - after I left a message. A week goes by and no-one calls. I call again and go through the same rigmarole. Once again no-one calls (I gave them my cell number - no calls, no record of missed call/s).I try a third time with the same result. Their website claims that I will receive VIP treatment on these calls. I am now concluding that this may be a scam - calls never answered, never returned so that I cannot turn off the monthly fee. Do not, under any circumstance join their VIP plan - no VIP treatment - no way to turn it off.Hugh L.Post Falls, ID.
March 22 2020 2:54AMI got the flyer from Life Line in the mail and I was uninsured at the time, and my dad hadn't been for a checkup in a while. We decided it to be a good idea.We had the screenings recommended on the pink card along with the bloodwork. And then I had the prostate blood test. My dad found an underlying AFib. Everybody there was good as they could be.
They were very thorough and very swift. I'll definitely go again. Overall it was a good experience.
I'll recommend it to anybody.Boyd K.Augusta, GA. March 17 2020 7:14AMI've had preventive screening done several times and it will help prevent something because sometimes your doctor can’t send you to get it done until you’re having symptoms. Life Line Screening is always what I use.
I felt very comfortable and their technicians were very knowledgeable.I was pleased with the results. I’m really healthy and they came back just fine. I take it to my doctor whenever I have it done. My doctor thinks it’s a great idea because he can’t send me for these tests because my insurance will not pay for them unless you have a problem. He always encourages it. Life Line provides a great service.Bonnie H.Fort Worth, TX. We believe everyone deserves to make thoughtful, informed purchase decisions.
