Why PAD Testing Should Be Done in Your Practice

PAD testing saves patients' lives and improves their health.
Peripheral artery disease (PAD) is a serious disease with potentially deadly consequences.
PAD mortality rates are higher than those of many common diseases you routinely test for.
Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent disability and improve quality of life.
Without testing, most cases of PAD go undiagnosed.
History and physical exams are unreliable; more than half of PAD patients are asymptomatic or misattribute their pain to arthritis. Only about 10% present with claudication.
Asymptomatic patients have the same prognosis as those with symptoms.

Benefits of In-Office Testing

Builds trust with your patients by diagnosing PAD before they experience an MI, stroke, or amputation.
Patients appreciate the convenience of in-office testing rather than being referred elsewhere.

REIMBURSEMENT - ABI-Q EXAM W/EXERCISE ON CUFF-LINK
The ABI-Q examination uses pulse volume recording (PVR) to assess lower extremity arterial blood flow and aid in diagnosing peripheral artery disease (PAD). The ABI-Q examination can be performed as a standalone assessment using the ABI-Q system, or as part of a comprehensive vascular evaluation with the SimpleABI Cuff-Link
Systems.

The following information outlines the ABI-Q with exercise procedure on a simpleABI Automated Cuff-Link system:

The ABI-Q exam is a single-level study. If the patient is exercised as part of the exam, it will satisfy the CPT code 93923. (Exercise is an example of a “provocative functional maneuver” that brings on symptoms of the disease).

Background: Around 30% of patients experiencing symptoms of PAD, despite a normal diagnosis at rest, exhibit abnormal results following exercise. The diagnostic accuracy of ABI testing for PAD can be significantly improved by incorporating exercise into the evaluation process.
