Reduce unnecessary referrals
Our tests will help you determine whether your patient has a cardiac limitation, pulmonary limitation, or if they are simply deconditioned. We test patients that typically are experiencing shortness of breath at rest or with exertion, chest discomfort or that have family history of cardiovascular related diseases. The majority of patients tested do not necessarily warrant a referral to a specialist for further examination.
Increase your revenue
By providing the patient, the diagnosis and an exam room, the physician is eligible to earn the professional component for each procedure code billed. Contact us for more info on the revenue generation possibilities with our program.
Better diagnostic data
Is it the Heart or the Lungs?Due to the additional and precise diagnostic information CMET provides, it reduces the frequency of mis-diagnoses and unnecessary referrals by physicians, and identifies those patients who genuinely need to be evaluated by a specialist (cardiologist, pulmonologist, other). The use of cardiopulmonary exercise testing is increasingly valuable due to its precision, clarity and sensitivity in evaluating a variety of cardiovascular, pulmonary and functional issues. In addition to providing accurate and important MET values, it provides more information beyond what is normally attained from traditional exercise testing methodologies.
Greater convenience
Your patients no longer have to wait several weeks (if not months) for a consultation with a specialist. They can undergo a convenient, simple test in your office, instead of being sent to an unfamiliar setting.
No out-of-pocket expense
There is no out-of-pocket expense for our service. We provide the technician, equipment, and expertise that allows you to provide state-of-the-art testing in your office. Your obligation is to provide the patient, exam room and diagnosis, for which you will earn a professional fee.
