PinnacleCare to Offer Biophysical250 to Its Members
Biophysical Corporation and PinnacleCare announced today that the Biophysical250 health assessment will be offered to all PinnacleCare members nationwide. The Biophysical250 includes an innovative blood test that provides the single most comprehensive evaluation of an individual’s health. Biophysical Corporation and PinnacleCare are both dedicated to connecting their clients to the most advanced medical science available, making this a natural collaboration.
The current paradigm in medicine is to treat diseases after symptoms appear. Unfortunately, standard annual physicals look at a limited number of medical conditions, using only the most common biomarkers, such as cholesterol, glucose and PSA. Biophysical250 is a powerful health assessment that combines more than 250 biomarkers used by cardiologists, oncologists, rheumatologists and other specialists that could indicate medical conditions and diseases, including cancer and cardiovascular disease, often before symptoms appear.
"PinnacleCare constantly seeks new cutting edge ways to help our Members have the best health lifelong," said Miles J. Varn, M.D., medical director of PinnacleCare. "Biophysical250 is one of the most advanced methods we’ve seen that can help lead to the earliest detection of disease, and we are bringing this assessment directly to our Members. By giving them this extraordinary level of insight into their health, we improve our ability to discover medical issues at a very early stage — when treatment options and outcomes are most favorable." Dr. Varn and his colleagues at PinnacleCare carefully reviewed the Biophysical250 and tested the service on themselves before offering the program to Members.
PinnacleCare will offer Biophysical250 to all of its Members as a supplement – or, depending on the Member’s medical history, even as an alternative – to the PinnacleCare Executive Physicals at top national medical centers nationwide. Biophysical will send a phlebotomist to the PinnacleCare Member’s home, office or convenient place of choice to draw a small sample (two tablespoons) of blood. Following analysis by the Biophysical medical team, a personalized report of the results is returned to the Member and his or her PinnacleCare AdvocateTM, along with a copy for the Member’s physician. To fully understand the results, a personal, private consultation will be conducted with a Biophysical physician and PinnacleCare Advocate to review the report point by point.
"We are very impressed with the PinnacleCare program. The PinnacleCare professionals serve as more than simply advocates for their Member families. They guide them through the healthcare maze, determining the correct path for each individual," said Dr. George Rodgers, chief medical officer for Biophysical Corporation. "By combining the PinnacleCare program and Biophysical250 service, PinnacleCare Members receive the ultimate access and information for managing their health over the course of their entire lives."
