Optimize Practice Performance
PADnet can have a positive impact on your practice’s bottom line as well. Studies are reimbursable, and the diagnosis of PAD supports the prescription of diabetic shoes and orthotics.
Prevent Diabetic Amputations
Peripheral artery disease and diabetes accounts for 54% of all amputations that occur in the United States1. Through PADnet, you can help prevent your patients from having to suffer an amuptation.
Bend the healthcare cost curve
PADnet is a unique solution, in that it can improve your bottom line while reducing healthcare costs. For example, the annual cost to care for an average Medicare beneficiary is $11,173, but that cost rises to more than $72,000 if the patient has PAD2. With PADnet you lower healthcare costs through the early detection and management of this chronic condition.
