Comprehensive Physical Services & Codes

Our commitment to preventative care is the foundation of our comprehensive physical and testing. Based on personal, family and social history some or all of these tests may be recommended for you at the time of your physical. We recommend these tests in the best interest of our patients’ health, not what may or may not be covered by insurance companies.

We will make every attempt to process all tests and services in-house when permitted by your insurance carrier. If not permitted, the test and/or service will be processed at an outside facility.

A

Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA)

The AAA is a specific kind of aneurysm, in which the lining of the blood vessel called the aorta is enlarged within the abdomen. Abdominal aortic aneurysms pose a threat because they are usually silent until a medical emergency occurs. We perform a noninvasive procedure, which requires you to lie on your back while a technician uses ultrasound to take images and measurements of your abdominal aorta.

Ankle Brachial Index (ABI)

The ABI is a simple and reliable test for diagnosing peripheral arterial disease. Blood pressure measurements are taken at the arms and ankles using a specialized computer and an ultrasound device called a Doppler, which produces sound waves.

Balance Plate

Also called a Posturography test, the Balance Plate uses equipment known as the Balance+Plus Fall Assessment System. This equipment looks like a weight scale, but with extra computerized accessories. The patient simply steps onto it, and the system’s software calculates the patient’s weight and body mass index, then determines his or her balance/ stability/falls-risk.

CPX

This is a noninvasive exercise test that examines the cardiopulmonary system as a whole. Exercise testing remains a remarkably versatile tool that provides valuable diagnostic information regarding patients at risk of cardiovascular or pulmonary disease. Integration of data obtained from pulmonary function tests (PFT’s), gas exchange analyses (oxygen consumption) and electrocardiograms (ECG) obtained at maximal work rate allows for the ability to differentiate between limiting factors due to the heart, lungs, obesity or deconditioning. CPX provides a tremendous amount of information relating to present and future health outcomes.

Hemoccult / Stool Sample

Fecal occult blood tests (FOBT) use chemical indicators on stool samples to detect the presence of blood not visible. Blood originating from or passing through the gastrointestinal tract can signal many conditions requiring further diagnostic procedures.

The test below is sent to various outside labs. You may receive an EOB and/or bill from these facilities.

Hemoglobin A1c

A hemoglobin A1c test measures the average amount of sugar in your blood over the last 3 months. As your body processes blood sugar, small amounts of glucose naturally bond with hemoglobin, a protein in the red blood cells. As a result, the hemoglobin bonded with glucose (glycated hemoglobin, or A1c) can be used as an overall record of glucose levels for as long as the individual red blood cell lives, which is about two to three months.

The test below is sent to various outside labs. You may receive an EOB and/or bill from these facilities.

HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) Testing

HPV testing is included in the pap smear screening. HPV is a virus associated with cervical cancer. There are about 40 various types of HPV which can be divided into two categories – low and high risk. After the age of 30 the office screens females for the high-risk types since those are the ones that are most likely to cause cervical cancer in women. The pap smear can detect cellular changes on the cervix and any high-risk HPV types that can alert the providers to order any additional testing.

The test below is sent to various outside labs. You may receive an EOB and/or bill from these facilities.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the beta cells of the pancreas. It regulates the uptake and utilization of glucose and is also involved in protein synthesis and triglyceride storage. Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes) is caused by insulin deficiency due to destruction of insulin-producing pancreatic islet (beta) cells. Type 2 diabetes (noninsulin dependent diabetes) is characterized by resistance to the action of insulin (insulin resistance).

Lipids are found in your bloodstream or are stored in tissues; they are an important part of cell structure and other functions in the body. Lipid disorders, such as high cholesterol, may contribute to life-threatening illnesses, such as coronary artery disease (CAD), heart attack, or stroke.

S

Sleep Study

A sleep study can help detect sleep apnea, a serious and life threatening condition, occurring when the airway temporarily collapses during sleep, causing breathing to repeatedly stop and start during sleep. Most patients who suffer from OSA (Obstructive Sleep Apnea) will experience low levels of oxygen in the blood, high blood pressure and a quality of life decrease due to headaches and drowsiness. Some signs of OSA include loud snoring, dry mouth, morning headaches and shortness of breath.

It is involved in the metabolism of every cell of the human body, and important for energy production.

Billing Codes
CPT: 82607, Diagnosis: Z00.00, Z00.01 or D51.9

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is a fat soluble vitamin that can build up in the bloodstream so it is important to take the correct levels of Vitamin D as recommended by your provider. Vitamin D is referred to as the “Sunshine Vitamin” because it is generally felt to be converted by the skin into Vitamin D in the human body. However, recently widespread information about a variety of different diseases exists including bone health, cancer and cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke and chronic fatigue. Some depression has also been linked to low levels of Vitamin D.
