Cardiac catheterization

If your doctor recommended cardiac catheterization, a cardiologist can walk you through what's next. A General Medicine clinician reviews your history and builds a referral request, so your in-person visit starts without delay. If something's missing, we handle it before you go.

All your care in one place. That’s the General Medicine difference.

We help you understand your options, connect you to the right clinicians, manage prescriptions, coordinate any needed evaluations, and keep an eye on your overall health along the way. It’s comprehensive care that looks at the full picture — your goals, your history, your lifestyle — and makes it simple to move forward with confidence.

What to know before your cardiac catheterization

If you've already had testing pointing to a heart blood-flow issue, we'll make sure your cardiologist has it before your visit, so they can walk you through what it means right away. If you haven't had that testing yet, we'll help you figure out the right next step to get there first.

Cardiac catheterization guides a thin tube through a blood vessel, usually in your wrist or groin, to check blood flow and pressure in your heart — and can include treatment, like a stent, if needed

Most people go home the same day or next day; recovery depends on whether treatment was needed during the procedure

Your cardiologist will also go over risks, alternatives, and answer your questions before anything is decided

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a referral to book?

Whether virtual or in person, you never need a referral before booking a visit with General Medicine. For in-person visits, we reach out to specialists near you to schedule your appointment. Tell us who you'd prefer, or let us choose for you — either way, we confirm they're in-network before booking. If that specialist requires a referral, our clinical team reviews your health history and symptoms, and if it all lines up, creates a referral for you before we book. That referral is yours to keep, whether we book for you or you take it somewhere else.

How does pricing work?

Before checkout, you'll see an estimated cash and insurance price based on your specialist and plan, but you won't pay until your visit — and that amount may shift with your care needs. All you pay today is $45. $15 covers a General Medicine clinician reviewing your info and providing a referral. $30 covers scheduling coordination: confirming the specialist's in-network, booking a time that works for you, and sending your history ahead. These fees aren't covered by insurance, but are FSA/HSA eligible.

Does this visit include the actual procedure?

This visit gets you seen and evaluated by a specialist who can perform cardiac catheterization. Some procedures happen the same day; others are scheduled separately based on what you and your specialist decide.

What if I have chest pain or trouble breathing right now?

Please don't wait on a scheduled visit — call 911 or go to your nearest ER.

What if the catheterization finds a blockage that needs immediate treatment?

Your cardiologist can often treat it in the same procedure — they'll talk you through the options beforehand so you know what to expect.
