Frequently Asked Questions

Will my employer have access to my medical records?
No. All of your medical information is kept strictly confidential and will never be shared with your employer.

Can I share the results of my screening/exam with my primary care physician?
Yes. You will receive a comprehensive summary of the results of your health screening and exam. You are encouraged by Inova to share this information with your physician. Inova can also send your primary physician a copy of your records upon request.

How frequently can I receive a health screening/exam under this benefit?
You may receive one screening/exam per calendar year.

Where does the examination take place?
All medical services and testing are performed at Inova Heart and Vascular Institute at Inova Fairfax Hospital. The Institute is convenient to I-495, located just off the Gallows Road exit. U.S. News & World Report has consistently ranked Inova Fairfax Hospital as one of the country's top 50 hospitals. More than 1,000 area doctors who were surveyed in Washingtonian magazine recently ranked Inova Fairfax Hospital as the place they'd want to go if they were having a stroke or if a family member was giving birth.

What physicians will I see as part of the executive screening program?
Inova Executive Health Center is led by Craig Cheifetz, MD, co-section chief, general internal medicine, Department of Medicine, and Madeline Erario, MD, internal medicine, Inova Fairfax Hospital. The Virginia Chapter of the American College of Physicians recently voted Dr. Cheifetz "Young Internist of the Year." Dr. Cheifetz serves as the assistant dean of Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine, located on the Inova Fairfax Hospital campus. Dr. Erario is the director, Graduate and Continuing Medical Education, at Inova Fairfax Hospital. As part of the program, you will also interact with a board-certified cardiologist and other physician specialties recommended for your examination.

How much time will a health screening require?
Each appointment will be different based on the recommendations of the physician performing the screening. You should plan on spending approximately 4-5 hours at the appointment. All medical testing and services will take place at Inova Heart and Vascular Institute.

When will I receive my results?
80% of your results will be available on the same day of your appointment. However, it is highly recommended that a follow-up one-on-one consultation be scheduled to discuss your overall exam results, action plans and goals.

If my employer is interested in learning more or adding as a benefit for my executives, who should I contact?

How do I make an appointment? How soon are appointments available?

Is there a cost for me to participate in the Executive Health Screening program?
