Nail Fungus
We offer a molecular PCR Nail Testing Protocol for Podiatrists, Primary Care and Family Practices that reimburses them for taking the clipping samples of patients with a suspected situation like Fungus, Yeast or possibly Cancer,
Nail fungus is the #1 Condition Overlooked by Primary Care and Internal Medicine Physicians
Most patients are never diagnosed and treated because who is going to bring up the subject, for most doctors it’s out of sight out of mind and for the patient it’s an embarrassment so they don’t bring it up and just live with it
Statistically most primary care practices will see anywhere from 3 to 7 patients per day with this common complaint and most practices do nothing for a patient, they don’t treat the problem, and they don’t even refer a patient out to be treated
Our rapid PCR testing needs Just a small toenail clipping containing suspected fungus and we will deliver an actionable report in 1-2 days
Overlooked revenue
