Hi! My husband has to do a Pet scan around Fort Lauderdale, Fl. Somebody knows where the best and inexpensive place to do it? He only has Medicare A. Thanks!

I live near Clearwater and I go to

the imaging center at my local hospital. Medicare should cover this if he has lung cancer I believe. Good luck!

I live in NYC so can't help there however I suggest you Google Medical Imaging for names of Medical Imaging and call each one individually for a quote. Be sure to tell them if you have health insurance. Good luck. My copay in NYC usually runs around $200.00.
