For convenience, Sigma Tactical Wellness can accept Flexible Spending Accounts <br />as a form of payment. <br /> <br />Sigma HeartStart Program <br />HeartStart is specifically designed for individuals not wishing to undergo the full on-site <br />screening experience (above) and/or for those wishing to participate without coordination <br />through their department or agency, but who still desire to experience Sigma’s proven <br />methodologies in detection of early-stage heart disease. <br />HeartStart includes the following components: <br />• Advanced lipid panel including cardiac inflammatory biomarker analysis – also includes <br />overview of hematology, liver/kidney function, thyroid, PSA (men), HbA1c (diabetes) <br />• 20min Consultation with a mid-level clinician (Advanced-practice nurse/practitioner or <br />physician’s assistant) <br />• 45min Consultation with Registered Dietician (with coordination from Quest Diagnostics) <br />COST: $299.00 <br />Estimated Cost Savings component <br />As an example, in a population of 200 police officers, based on our observed results, <br />approximately 100 will have evidence of coronary artery disease, 80-160 will be clinically obese <br />and approximately 60 will have evidence of undiagnosed hypertension and or diabetes. <br />The Commission of the Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies (CALEA) has placed the <br />cost of an in-service heart attack between $450,000- $750,000. If assuming only 10% of the 100 <br />officers with detected coronary plaque experience disease progression resulting in a heart <br />attack within 5 years (low estimate), the total cost to the tax-payers ranges between $4.5 million <br />to $7.5 million. <br />Based upon calculations from the 2019 Society of Actuaries, if the cost of untreated obesity is <br />factored into the five-year analysis, there is an additional $1.22 million associated with overall <br />health care, workmanship compensation, and disability cost. <br />Aside from the obvious cost-savings inherent in cardiovascular prevention, we have <br />documented a 28% reduction in body fat percentage in overweight individuals, and a 29% <br />reduction in body fat percentage in obese individuals (as much as 40lbs weight loss in some <br />cases within compliant individuals). Most of the weight reduction is seen within the first 12 <br />months of program adherence. <br />Total Cost Savings (200 officers) = $5.7m – $8.7m over 5 years
