Lab work for Burr Ridge, IL's large 65-and-older community
Burr Ridge, IL had 11,192 residents in the 2020 Census, and Census Bureau estimates put more than one in three of them at 65 or older. Many of the lab visits we see from the village are about keeping an eye on long-term health: a blood sugar check, a thyroid recheck, or a cholesterol test that a regular doctor asked for.
Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, has a team led by board-certified physicians. A clinician reviews your history and symptoms, orders the tests that make sense, and explains what the numbers mean. Our main lab testing service page lists every test we run.
Medicare and diabetes screening for Burr Ridge, IL seniors
Diabetes often starts quietly. MedlinePlus recommends A1C testing for adults over 45, with repeat tests every 1 to 2 years for prediabetes and at least twice a year for people who have diabetes. The A1C shows your average blood sugar over roughly the past 2 to 3 months.
Medicare.gov says Part B covers diabetes screening tests, including A1C and fasting or non-fasting glucose tests, when your provider determines you are at risk. Being 65 or older is one of the factors Medicare lists. Combined with another, such as being overweight or having a parent or sibling with diabetes, it can qualify you. High blood pressure or a history of high blood sugar can qualify you on its own. Ask us what your plan covers before testing, and read more on diabetes testing.
MedlinePlus notes that anemia and some other blood conditions can make an A1C less accurate, so a clinician may pair it with a complete blood count or a glucose test.
Thyroid and cholesterol checks that matter more after 65

Thyroid problems can hide in older adults. MedlinePlus explains that in people over 60, an overactive thyroid may show up as loss of appetite or pulling away from others, signs that can be mistaken for depression or dementia. An underactive thyroid often builds slowly, with tiredness, feeling cold, dry skin and constipation. A TSH blood test is usually the first step, and our thyroid panel testing page explains the follow-up tests.
For cholesterol, MedlinePlus advises a lipid panel every year for adults older than 65. That panel measures LDL, HDL, total cholesterol and triglycerides, and it may need about 9 to 12 hours of fasting. Fast only if we tell you to.

Does Medicare pay for an A1C test for Burr Ridge, IL seniors?
Medicare.gov says Part B covers diabetes screening, including A1C and glucose tests, when your provider finds you are at risk. Age 65 or older counts toward that, together with one more factor such as a family history of diabetes. Medicare Advantage plans vary, so call (630) 324-6825 before your visit to confirm.
How often should an older adult get cholesterol checked?
MedlinePlus advises yearly cholesterol testing for adults older than 65, and more often for some people with higher risk, such as those with diabetes, high blood pressure or a family history of heart disease. Ask your regular doctor what schedule fits you, or have a clinician review your history at our Westmont, IL clinic.
Can a thyroid problem look like memory trouble in an older parent?
It can. MedlinePlus notes that in adults over 60, an overactive thyroid may cause appetite loss or social withdrawal, which can be mistaken for depression or dementia. A TSH blood test is a simple first check. Bring your parent's medicine list, and tell the clinician what has changed and when it started.

Yes. Both clinics collect blood and urine samples on site and keep the same hours: weekdays 9 AM to 6 PM and weekends 9 AM to 5 PM. If you need one specific test, call ahead to confirm the clinic you choose offers it. Only the Cass Ave clinic has X-ray.
