Question 1

What is autonomic nervous system testing and how does it help my practice?

Accepted Answer

Autonomic nervous system (ANS) testing measures heart rate variability, Valsalva ratio, orthostatic blood pressure response, and sudomotor function to detect autonomic dysfunction early. It is billable under CPT codes 95921-95924 and helps cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, podiatry, pain medicine, and primary care practices identify conditions like diabetic autonomic neuropathy, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, POTS, and small fiber neuropathy before clinical symptoms appear.

Question 2

Is autonomic testing covered by insurance and Medicare?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Autonomic nervous system testing is covered by most major insurers and Medicare under CPT codes 95921-95924 when medical necessity is documented. Vascular studies are covered under CPT codes 93922-93971. Typical reimbursement ranges from $120 to $350 per test depending on the code and payer.

Question 3

How long does a VitalScan ANS+ test take to perform?

Accepted Answer

The VitalScan ANS+ System performs a comprehensive autonomic and vascular assessment in approximately 15 minutes. The test is administered by existing clinical staff — no specialized technician required — and the automated interpretive report is ready before the patient leaves the office.

Question 5

What specialties benefit most from autonomic and vascular testing?

Accepted Answer

Cardiology practices use it for cardiac autonomic neuropathy detection and arterial stiffness assessment. Endocrinology practices screen diabetic patients for autonomic neuropathy per ADA guidelines. Neurology practices diagnose POTS, syncope, and small fiber neuropathy. Podiatry practices detect peripheral neuropathy and PAD. Pain medicine practices identify nerve-level pain drivers. Primary care practices offer proactive health assessments.
