To ensure the most precise results, we ask you to fast for at least 8 hours (no food or drinks other than water) and avoid strenuous exercise before your exam if you chose for a blood test.

Please make sure to stay sufficiently hydrated and to drink 2-3 glasses before your exam.

No, you do not need a referral for the Ahead tests. You can request an appointment independently. Please note that we may need to assess your eligibility for some tests.

You can book your appointment online through our website, which features a real-time calendar, or by contacting us via WhatsApp or phone.

Whether the screening can be reimbursed through your employer depends on the agreements your company has in place. Some employers offer health programs or subsidies that may cover the Ahead screening.

It is recommended to check with your employer.

Supplementary health insurers may cover part of the cost for our full-body check-ups.

For example, KPT’s supplementary "Pulse Top" & "Pulse Premium" insurance reimburses up to 1'500 CHF of the costs for our MRI-packages.

The exact cost contribution depends on your provider and specific plan. We are happy to support you in clarifying cost coverage with your insurance, just contact us.

The standard Ahead MRI and blood test does not involve ionising radiation or contrast agents.

It is based on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), which does not use radiation.

For add-on requests that may include a low-dose radiation or contrast agents we will check eligibility for these tests.

The recommended frequency for a preventive scan is typically every 1 to 2 years, but this will be personalized for you in your report.

General guidance is:

• Low risk (e.g., under 40 years old with no major risk factors): Every 2 years.

• Moderate risk (e.g., family history of certain conditions, age 40-60): Annually.

• High risk (e.g., known genetic predispositions): A custom protocol will be advised, often involving scans every 6 to 12 months.

As a healthcare professional, you can inform your patients about the Ahead program. We are happy to supply you with additional materials if needed.

Patients can book an appointment independently.

If you need assistance with patient referrals please contact us or email us at get@aheadhealth.com.

Your results will typically be available a few days after the check-up.

You will receive an email notification including a link and instructions to securely access your results in the web portal.
