The Business Case for Physicians: Adding CMAT™ TM-Flow Testing to Independent Clinics

1 | Why Expand Beyond Traditional PAD Screening?

  • Missed Disease – Manual Doppler ABI alone can under-detect PAD in diabetics and patients with calcified vessels.
  • Value-Based Care Pressures – Payers expect earlier detection and documented outcomes, yet reimburse for validated non-invasive tests.
  • Diagnostic Services Gap – Independent clinics often miss opportunities to detect conditions earlier through in-office diagnostic screening.

CMAT™ TM-Flow, distributed by HealthWright Technologies Inc, addresses all three by delivering three diagnostic assessments—ABI + PVR, autonomic nervous-system (ANS) analysis, and sudomotor testing—in a single 15-minute session.

3 | Financial Snapshot: 10 Tests per Week Scenario

CPT Code2025 Nat. Avg. Reimbursement*Weekly Rev.Annual Rev.
93922 – ABI/PVR$ 75$ 750$ 39 000
95921 – ANS$ 110$ 1 100$ 57 200
95923 – Sudomotor$ 130$ 1 300$ 67 600
Total$ 3 150$ 163 800

*Medicare national averages; many commercial plans reimburse higher. Most clinics recoup a financed system inside 6–9 months, even after consumables and lease payments.

4 | Workflow Integration in Six Simple Steps

  1. Identify Candidates – EHR flags high-risk patients (DM, smokers, age > 65).
  2. Prep & Attach – MA places simultaneous arm/ankle cuffs and two skin pads.
  3. Auto-Run Test – Device captures ABI, PVR, HRV, and sudomotor data in one pass.
  4. Instant Report – Color-coded PDF auto-uploads to chart; physician reviews in-visit.
  5. Bill & Document – Pre-filled superbill with three CPTs; attach report as backup.
  6. Recall & Follow-Up – Automated reminders for annual re-screening support ongoing patient monitoring.

Average added chair-time: ≈ 3 minutes beyond routine vitals.

☐ Modeled Section 179 tax savings on capital purchase or buy-out lease
☐ Identified clinic champion and training date
☐ Secured launch-kit financing or flexible financing option

8 | Common Objections—And Data-Driven Answers

ObjectionResponse
“We don’t have time.”Average test adds < 3 minutes to vitals workflow once staff is certified.
“Our patients can go to vascular labs.”In-house testing provides immediate results and speeds treatment decisions; lab referrals often take weeks.
“Capital budgets are frozen.”0% interest 36-month lease or flexible financing (pay per test) available; diagnostic volume typically ramps up within the first few months at 10 tests/week.

9 | Take-Away

Adding CMAT™ TM-Flow testing is not just another capital purchase; it is a clinical-and-financial force multiplier. Independent physicians gain:

  • Comprehensive diagnostics in a single non-invasive visit.
  • Triple-code reimbursement that fuels sustainable practice growth.
