Diagnosing Radiculopathies Through History & Observation
Diagnosing Radiculopathies Through History & Observation

MRI is currently the gold standard for identifying radicular pathology, but unfortunately, it requires preauthorization, which isn’t easy to obtain. Physical tests are what most practitioners depend on – despite the marginal reliability of the tests. The information in this article brings history and observation to the forefront of radicular diagnostics. Each factor listed can significantly increase the clinician’s ability to diagnose radiculopathies.

Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?
Multiple-Procedure Claim Reductions?

With some plans – and it starts with Medicare (CMS) – there is a payment protocol called the multiple-procedure payment reduction (MPPR).
