Hi Dr. Ciaccia. Welcome!
Tenjet is a 3-5 minute, one-time, definitive, percutaneous modality for chronic tendinosis, where patients are back to normal activity in within 2 weeks and achieve maximum results in 4-12 weeks. An 11 blade stab with steri-strips and tegaderm for closure. We only require a liter bag of saline and local on a mayo stand.
Three things you should know:
1) We are approved for your use at OrthoCrolina!
• Reimbursed in the ASC (through private insurances and Medicare)
-OR-
• In the office (patient out of pocket pay ($650) – you choose up pricing)
2) We are excited to provide a wet lab/demonstration for you at your convenience.
3) We are available to be with you with console and disposable kits to assist with your procedures in either setting.
Physician dictation and CPT codes are attached. Patient brochure is included as well. Kindly give me a call to discuss. We also have a marketing campaign to assist with making your patients aware. Typically, our physicians direct their patients to one morning or afternoon a month for Tenjet procedures. If in the ASC, we can use a procedure room or radiology suite so as not to disrupt OR schedules.
I look forward to speaking with you and progressing forward. For additional information, kindly visit http://www.hydrocision.com or http://www.tendonpain.com. Thank you! Bill 201.892.1510
