How It Works
All current and retired firefighters, police, and emergency responders, and their colleagues are invited to participate in the program throughout the State of New Jersey. They will then have opportunity to receive confidential comprehensive cardiovascular and pulmonary medical evaluations. The medical facility will take the responsibility of billing the participant’s insurance provider (note that the doctors and/or facility may be an out of network provider). These annual examinations are provided by Cardio Pulmonary Diagnostic and their network of providers.
The dedicated team of providers and board-certified cardiologists and pulmonologists who have generously offered firefighters, police, and emergency responders medical care since 2001 that is specific to their profession.
Testing will be provided based upon each participant’s medical history. Testing may include laboratory, x-ray, pulmonary functions testing, and cardiovascular screening. Upon completion, the participant will be provided with a medical report which they can use at their discretion. Therefore, participants do not have to break their allegiance with their primary care physician.
All visits will be scheduled by appointment. Please be prepared to answer questions regarding your personal family, medical and surgical history, your primary care physician's address and contact number. Please bring any recent testing or examination results from another health care provider and a list of all medications that you may currently be taking. Our medical staff will direct you on what will be needed for the initial visit. In addition, fasting the previous night is required for blood work, which is part of the evaluation.
Please bring your work ID and/or driver's license along with your insurance card(s).
Book An Appoinment:
Due to the high demand and limited availability of appointments, we kindly request that you notify our office as soon as possible if you need to cancel or reschedule your testing. This allows us to rebook your slot for another first responder who needs it, which could potentially be life-saving.
