September 25, 2020 — A study out of University Hospitals (UH) found that removing the cost barrier for coronary artery calcium (CAC) computed tomography (CT) imsging screening resulted in an immediate increase in utilization of the test. Furthermore, no-charge calcium screening was associated with an increase in representation by women, minorities and people living in ZIP codes with lower income.
