The PADnet Peripheral Vascular Assessment Protocol allows doctors to perform diagnostic tests and receive fair payment through appropriate billing codes. It provides guidelines for billing office visits and vascular assessments of new and existing patients. The protocol supports adding tests to patient visits to better assess peripheral vascular disease and conditions like diabetes, while outlining billing codes and average reimbursements.
