Adding Brain Injury Diagnostics Without Buying Equipment

Chiropractors and physical therapists see accident patients first and most often. Building a neuro-diagnostics department, though, means equipment, training, staff, and space. Braintree Health Partners offers a different route.

The model

• We bring the testing. A technician and portable equipment come to your practice.
• Physician-reviewed reports. You receive documented findings. You don't interpret raw data yourself.
• You keep the patient. We do diagnostics only. We diagnose. You treat.

The real cost of building it yourself

Practices that look into adding in-house neuro-diagnostics usually find the equipment purchase is only the first expense. There is staff training and turnover, software and maintenance, a room that sits empty between tests, and a physician relationship needed to interpret results. Then there's volume: unless a practice sees a steady flow of patients who need testing, the investment is hard to justify. Many smaller and mid-size practices decide it isn't worth it, and their patients go untested.

How the mobile model changes the math

With Braintree, the technician, the equipment, and the physician review all come from us. You provide the referral and a quiet room on testing day. Because testing can be grouped, one visit can cover several referred patients without disrupting your schedule. You don't carry fixed costs for capacity you might not use, and you can refer as many or as few patients as your caseload calls for.

Keeping the patient relationship intact

Some providers hesitate to involve an outside company because they worry about losing the patient. Braintree's model is built so that doesn't happen. We provide diagnostics only. We don't offer treatment, and the report comes back to you. If specialty evaluation is needed, we help coordinate it with you as the treating provider. That is the core of "we diagnose, you treat."

What practices notice after partnering

Providers tell us the biggest change is confidence. Instead of guessing whether a patient's fogginess or headaches mean something more, they have objective documentation to work from and to discuss with the patient. Front-desk teams get a simple referral pathway, and patients appreciate being tested somewhere familiar.

What you don't need

No capital purchase, no new hires, no dedicated room left empty between patients, and no learning curve on new software.

Where it fits in your workflow

Screen at intake, refer when symptoms point to a possible head injury, schedule a testing day, receive the report, and continue care, coordinating specialty evaluation when the findings call for it.
