At Jones Radiology, our Wellness scans provide high-quality diagnostic imaging for individuals without symptoms who want to take a proactive approach to their health. These services are not covered by Medicare, as they are intended for early detection in people who do not have symptoms or meet eligibility criteria for Government funded screening programs.
