Moving Beyond the Basics
Follow-up appointments serve as critical moments in patient care. They give you a chance to evaluate how well a treatment plan is working, check for progression in chronic conditions, and adjust course as needed. But when a patient’s symptoms remain vague or their vitals haven’t changed, it can be challenging to decide on the next step.
The TM Flow System brings deeper insight to these visits. With quick, non-invasive testing, you can gather objective data about autonomic and vascular function to support your decisions and offer more clarity to your patients.
Why Objective Data Matters in Follow-Up Care
Symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, or cold extremities often linger even when initial lab work comes back normal. These can be signs of underlying autonomic imbalance or early-stage vascular dysfunction, both of which are difficult to detect without targeted testing.
The TM Flow System combines three key in-office, CPT-billable tests:
- Autonomic Function Testing (CPT 95921)
- Sudomotor Testing (CPT 95923)
- Ankle-Brachial Index Testing (CPT 93922)
Together, these results help you determine whether symptoms reflect physiological changes or whether a patient is stable enough to continue their current care plan.

Using TM Flow Results to Guide Clinical Decisions
When follow-up visits raise new concerns or old symptoms persist, the TM Flow System offers measurable insight that supports confident next steps:
- Abnormal ABI may indicate vascular insufficiency and prompt referral or medication adjustments
- Reduced heart rate variability can point to autonomic imbalance, particularly in patients with diabetes, hypertension, or high stress.
- An impaired sweat response may reflect early neuropathic changes or issues with sympathetic function.
This data helps you make smarter choices, whether that means continuing a plan, escalating care, or monitoring more closely.
Tracking Treatment Impact Over Time
For patients with chronic conditions, the TM Flow System also allows you to track changes across multiple visits. If an intervention is working, you’ll see stabilization or improvement in vascular or autonomic markers. If not, you’ll have early warning signs that it’s time to reconsider your approach.
A Better Use of Follow-Up Time
Instead of repeating the same basic vitals and asking the same subjective questions, the TM Flow System adds new clinical value to each follow-up appointment. The test takes minutes, fits easily into your workflow, and generates CPT-billable data that improves documentation and reimbursement.
For patients, it provides a sense of progress and clarity. For your team, it supports proactive decision-making and more effective chronic care management. If you’re considering adding the system to your office, a summer financing option through GSG Capital is now available, offering no payments for up to 12 months. This can make onboarding easier as you build clinical protocols around its use.
