Post Too Many Peripheral Neuropathy Patients Get High-Cost, Low-Yield Tests

Quote:
ANN ARBOR — Researchers at the University of Michigan analyzed the tremendous cost of diagnosing peripheral neuropathy and found that less expensive, more effective tests are less likely to be used. Almost one-quarter of patients receiving neuropathy diagnoses undergo high-cost, low-yield MRIs while very few receive low-cost, high-yield glucose tolerance tests, according to the study.
