PMD INCORPORATES NEW GENERATION TECHNOLOGY
FOR ON-SITE DIAGNOSTIC TESTING NATIONWIDE
Physicians
Test, Diagnose and Treat Patients at One
Location;
Provide Timely Diagnosis and Enhance Patient
Care
Atlanta,
GA; February 25, 2004: Proactive Medical
Diagnostics, Inc. (PMD) announces its participation
in Pri-Med South, Ft. Lauderdale, Booth
634. At the show, PMD will present attendees
with significant benefits in utilizing expert
on-site Electro-Diagnostic (EDX) testing
services. Through PMD, physicians have the
option to test their patients at their offices
rather than referring them to outside facilities,
such as hospitals. In many cases, referrals
result in the loss of follow-up visits and
patient retention.
PMD was created
by a group of doctors and professionals
to assist physicians in maintaining their
patient base and enhancing overall patient
care. PMD's team of experts has full knowledge
of diagnostic testing products and services
and ensures accuracy of the entire process.
With PMD, physicians can conveniently test,
diagnose, and treat patients at just one
location. Since PMD returns test results
within just days, doctors can immediately
develop a reliable and effective treatment
plan. Private practices taking advantage
of this opportunity realize that innovative
methods of diagnostic testing are much more
conducive to patients.
Amram Weiner,
M.D.,--New York, NY--notes the incentives
of utilizing PMD and its affiliated services.
[After the testing process with PMD was
completed], "my patient's disability
was established, she was able to receive
her compensation and that enabled her to
care for her children. Although initially
complex, this patient case became simple
and straight forward. In addition, my office
and PMD were both reimbursed for services.
Using in-office diagnostic testing is a
win-win situation for all," Dr. Weiner
concludes.
PMD provides
medical and personnel services including
technical support and training for office
staff as well as test interpretations handled
by board certified neurologists. These services
are offered in association with Advanced
Medical Management Associates (AMMA), an
innovative consulting firm specializing
in billing and technical support. AMMA works
closely with PMD to ensure the highest level
of quality and compliance.
"By
employing PMD's services, physicians can
increase their in-house diagnostic procedures
with the latest developments in testing
technology. The most important aspect of
in-office EDX testing is the benefits this
service provides to the patient. The added
convenience, comfort, and flexibility assure
patients of the best care possible. There's
no need to hire technicians or incur additional
expenses. We bring these doctors new generation
of testing equipment right into their offices,"
explains PMD Medical Director, Terrill M.
Wright, M.D.
PMD's highly
medically trained technicians travel to
doctor's offices to administer a variety
of EDX tests using hand-carried, state-of-the-art
equipment. Specific testing services include
Nerve Conduction Velocity studies (NCV),
Spinal Ultrasounds, Doppler Screenings,
Somatosensory Evoked Potentials (SSEP),
Dermatomal Evoked Potentials, and H-reflex
studies.
Nerve Conduction
Velocity studies (NCV) are one of the best
performed tests to successfully screen for
early detection of sensory and motor deficiencies,
especially in diabetic patients who are
asymptomatic. Patients complaining of neck,
arm, wrist, shoulder or foot pain, could
be at risk of a diabetic neuropathy. NCV
tests assess and diagnose diseases of the
brainstem, spinal cord and peripheral nervous
system. In addition, they assess the speed
and size of the nerve response.
