• Eliminates 2-3 unnecessary Nursing visits per 30-day episode
• PCR technology does NOT require clean catches’ which eliminates extra visits recollecting specimens
• Hospice Medical Director allows field staff take specimens point of care
• Requires significantly less work on field staff members and Medical Director
• Significantly reduce revocations to Urgent Care or ER’s
• Patients and caregivers have increased satisfactions
• Eliminate the cost to the Hospice to cover Lab expenses: patients insurance is billed

What Is The Test?

• Simple urine test
• Same science as a toxicology
• Designed to confirm that patients with chronic disease (hypertension, diabetes, kidney disease)
• Taking maintenance medications (lisinopril. Metformin. Pfavix)

Why Order Test?

• To ensure that patients are taking their prescribed maintenance medications
• To determine if patients are Metabolizing their medications appropriately
• Increase patient compliance

Which Patients?

• New Patient
• Hospital Follow up (* 73% of Medicare patients do not know what to take post hospitalization)
• Post Medication changes

Abnormal Results

All MMP results are reviewed by clinical team (If critical (anticoagulant missing) call provider/ clinic/rep ASAP)

COVERED Medicare/Commercial/Medicaid

• Medicare covers this test 100%
• Commercial Insurance will cover the test (If patient has a deductible, patient is responsible for the deductible)
• Medicaid (Depends on the state)

How Often?

• This test can be performed every 30 days (Most are collecting every 2 to 3 months per patient)
• Always can be collected after a hospital stay

What if medication(s) ARE NOT IN PATIENTS SPECIMEN?

Here are 2 main reasons

• Patient is not metabolizing the medication appropriately (Biological)
• Patient is not taking the medication (Behavioral)

Can i have FLU & COVID-19 at the same time?

Yes. It is possible to have flu as well as other respiratory illnesses including COVID-19 at the same time.

Influenza A, B (FLU), SARS-CoV-2 (COVID), Respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) accounts for the majority of respiratory virus infections, producing high mortality rates in immunocompromised patients. Real-time PCR technique is substantially more sensitive than the combination of conventional/shell viral cultures as well as Rapid testing.

SARS-CoV-2, influenza (flu), and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) are 3 major viral respiratory infections with overlapping signs and symptoms making them difficult to differentiate without diagnostic testing.

Answering the need for accurate & efficient clinical differentiation

• RSV 24.8 million episodes per year
• Flu 1 billion cases per year
• COVID-19 similar symptoms to other viral respiratory Infections
