A 3-test, FDA-cleared, 15-minute screening protocol — delivered in-office, reimbursed by Medicare and most private insurers, and powered by Pulse4Pulse early diagnostic detection system.
PAD is preventable, treatable, and largely invisible until it's too late. The numbers tell the story.
People living with Peripheral Artery Disease globally.
Are unaware they have PAD until a major cardiac event.
Our protocol surfaces PAD a decade before traditional screening.
Non-invasive, in-office, billable to Medicare 3x/year.
A simple, non-invasive screening that takes place right in the medical provider's office — and is covered by Medicare and top insurance providers.
3 of the 4 patients who develop Peripheral Artery Disease do not show symptoms. Our easy, non-invasive screening can detect the warning signs up to 10 years earlier than traditional methods — so you can take preventive action.
Peripheral Artery Disease is more commonly known as hardening of the arteries. It's a condition in which the large and medium arteries that supply blood to the legs become narrow or clogged, constricting the flow of blood. Left untreated, it puts patients at higher risk of stroke, heart attack, ischemic attack, painful diabetic neuropathy, pain with walking, and amputations.
The protocol aligns with the published clinical guidelines of the leading national associations for diabetes and heart disease.
Testing of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) is the recommended standard of care by the American Diabetes Association for patients with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
AHA Practice Guidelines for the management of Peripheral Artery Disease include the measurement of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in adults over 50 years old with a history of smoking, diabetes, or circulation problems — and all adults over 70 years old.
Pulse4Physicians non-invasive testing can detect the warning signs of PAD up to 10 years earlier than traditional testing.
The most advanced testing in the field. Your patients only need 15 minutes in your physician's office.
Pulse4Physicians is a trusted technology that is supported and reimbursed by Medicare and most private health plans.

Medicare-approved 3x/year per patientRecurring revenue, not one-time. The protocol is designed for serial monitoring of high-risk patients.
Same-day clinical reportPhysician can act on results in the same workflow. Clear interpretation, treatment plan, and follow-up recommendations.
Local, not nationalCOPP operates locally, in your territory, with your community. Not a national overhead operation — a partner who lives where you practice.
Optional COPP add-onOpt in only if you want community outreach beyond your existing patient panel. The program works either way.
Pulse4Physicians fits practices of every size and structure — from solo physicians to multi-hospital health systems.
Better patient care and additional revenue to remain independent in a competitive market.
A preventative diagnostic assessment that generates a new revenue stream with your existing patient base — with multiple referral streams (cardiology, endocrinology, diabetes management, CV testing, sleep, labs).
Helps independent physician groups stay competitive with general preventative diagnostic assessments that lead to intra-IPA referrals (cardiology, endocrinology, CV testing, sleep, labs).
Reduces hospital subsidies of employed physician groups. Boosts the bottom line with an existing patient base — new downstream revenue in cardiology, sleep centers, labs, surgical procedures, and other specialties.
The core Pulse4Physicians program works on its own — you test the patients you already see. If your practice also wants community outreach to bring in new qualified patients, COPP is how we do it.
COPP is a local partnership program — not a national overhead operation. It operates in your territory, with the community leaders, faith leaders, first responders, and senior centers you already know. The Community Outreach Partnership Program is the connection between your practice and the patients who haven't been getting the care they need.
Sample community outreach website we build and host for COPP partner practices — included at no additional cost when you opt in.
However your practice is built, the program fits. Test the patients you already have — or expand your base through community outreach.
Most practices have undiagnosed PAD sitting in their panel right now. 1 in 3 adults over 65. We bring the protocol to the patients you already see — no new patient acquisition required.
Through our Community Outreach Partnership Program (COPP), we go into the community — faith leaders, first responders, senior centers, civic groups, employers, schools, assisted living, and veteran organizations — and bring new patients through your doors.
The protocol has clinical relevance across primary care, internal medicine, and specialty practice. Here are eight of the twenty specialties currently using Pulse4Physicians.
Helps diagnose patients with known CAD, hypercholesterolemia, or hypertension — especially with smoking and stroke history.
A strong wellness tool for testing hidden disease in asymptomatic patients. Helps diagnose root causes of complex symptomatologies. 60% of adult patients qualify.
Helps diagnose diabetes and the hidden diseases associated with it — including neuropathies and PAD.
A clinical wellness tool for all patients with diabetes, thyroid, or cholesterol issues.
Most geriatric patients qualify for testing. Elevated pulse wave pressures in ABI over age 70 correlate with increased risk of dementia.
Especially relevant for lower leg issues and the large diabetic patient population. Strong pre-surgery wellness tool.
All patients with neuropathies qualify. The service helps neurologists objectively quantify neuropathy.
Wellness tool for testing asymptomatic diseases in asymptomatic patients. 60% of adult patients qualify.
Zero investment in equipment. Full clinical support. Practice retains billing through existing systems. No disruption to your existing practice.
Approved by Medicare, Medicaid, and most private payors. The practice bills through its existing system. Pulse4Pulse provides expert billing liaison support.
Three billable diagnostic codes per qualifying patient encounter.
No catch. No secret. This is what the program is.
Pulse4Physicians helps hospitals deliver on the population health metrics they're being measured on — while COPP delivers the patients those metrics depend on.
