Choose from three comprehensive Vista Health assessments
Choose your health assessment
A detailed look at your whole-body and heart health
Protect
Protect combines comprehensive blood testing and physical health checks with advanced MRI imaging. A Full Body MRI provides a detailed look at major organs and structures across the body, while a Cardiac MRI assesses the structure and function of your heart. Your assessment also includes bowel and urine testing, personalised health insights and virtual GP consultations before and after your appointments to help you understand your results and next steps.
Our most comprehensive whole-body and heart health assessment
Protect Plus
Protect Plus combines extensive blood testing and physical health checks with advanced whole-body and cardiovascular imaging. Alongside a Full Body MRI, it includes a Cardiac CT Angiogram, which provides a detailed view of the arteries supplying your heart and can help identify narrowing, blockages or other signs that may need further investigation. You will also receive a longer pre-assessment GP consultation, a detailed results consultation and an appointment with a specialist cardiologist to talk through your cardiac findings.
Broader health checks with specialist pelvic imaging
[Women's health product name]
This assessment combines a wider look at your general health with specialist imaging focused on gynaecological health. Alongside blood testing and physical health checks, you will have a detailed pelvic MRI designed to look for conditions and structural changes that may be linked to symptoms such as pelvic pain. It also includes a detailed menstrual and pain history, guidance on breast and gynaecological self-checks, and virtual GP consultations before and after your appointments.

Mako approves your request
Mako reviews requests every Friday so your chosen benefit and deductions from your pay can be confirmed. This is not a medical review. Mako will not see your medical information or results.

Find a clinic
Your appointments will take place at an appropriate Vista Health diagnostic centre.
The available location will depend on the tests and scans included in your chosen assessment, as not every service is available at every clinic.
Once your request has been approved, our team will help you find a suitable clinic and arrange your appointments.
What is SmartHealth™?
SmartHealth™ is Vista Health’s employee healthcare benefit, available to you through Mako. It gives you access to three Vista Health health assessments and allows you to spread the cost over 12 months through deductions from your net pay.
How do I choose an assessment?
Explore the three options on this page and use the individual assessment guides or comparison document to help you decide. Once you have made your choice, select it through SmartHealth™ and submit your request.
Why does Mako need to approve my request?
Mako needs to confirm your request before the deductions from your pay can be arranged. Requests are reviewed every Friday. This is not a medical review, and Mako will not see your health information or results.
When will Vista Health contact me?
Once Mako has approved your request, our team will contact you within two working days to arrange the next steps.
Do I need to pay the full cost upfront?
No. The total cost of your chosen assessment will be spread over 12 months and deducted from your net pay.
Will Mako see my health information or results?
No. Your medical history, test results, scan findings and personalised report are confidential between you and our clinical team. Mako will only receive the information needed to approve your request and arrange deductions from your pay.
What should I expect from my assessment?
This will depend on the option you choose. Your assessment may include blood tests, physical health checks, diagnostic scans and virtual GP consultations. We will explain what is included, how to prepare and what will happen at each stage when arranging your appointments.
Are the assessments suitable for everyone?
Not always. We will review your medical history and check that the tests and scans included in your chosen assessment are suitable for you before arranging your appointments.
Will this replace my NHS GP or other healthcare?
No. Our assessments work alongside your existing NHS or private healthcare; they do not replace it. Our in-house GPs can explain your results, discuss next steps and, with your consent, share your report or recommendations with your GP or another healthcare professional.
What happens if something is identified?
Your clinician will explain the finding and talk you through the recommended next steps. This may include speaking to your NHS GP, another healthcare professional or arranging further tests. Any additional care not included in your assessment may need to be accessed separately.
Will my private medical insurance cover the assessment?
This will depend on the terms of Mako’s private medical insurance policy. Further information will be added once confirmed by Mako.
What happens if I leave Mako before all 12 payments have been made?
Any remaining balance will be managed in line with Mako’s benefit and payroll terms. Full details will be provided as part of the application process.
