As the demand for comprehensive, data-driven GI care increases, more clinics are recognizing the value of adding Anorectal Manometry (ARM) to their diagnostic offering. ARM, particularly when performed with a streamlined system like mcompass®, supports more accurate diagnoses and boosts clinic efficiency and revenue potential. If you’re wondering whether now is the right time to grow your practice with ARM, here are three clear signs to look for:

1. You're Seeing More Complex GI Patients with Persistent Symptoms

If your clinic frequently encounters patients who have tried multiple treatments, undergone structural testing like colonoscopies, and still experience unresolved symptoms, it may be time to broaden your diagnostic capabilities. Functional GI disorders such as pelvic floor dysfunction, outlet dysfunction constipation, and incontinence often don’t show up on traditional imaging or endoscopy. ARM provides critical insight into rectal sensation, muscle coordination, and sphincter function—giving your team the objective data needed to pinpoint root causes and avoid trial-and-error care. By addressing the functional aspect of GI health, you’re able to deliver better outcomes for patients who have been struggling to find answers to their GI problems.

2. You're Referring Patients Elsewhere for Diagnostic Testing

If you’re regularly referring patients to outside facilities for ARM testing or related assessments, it might be time to bring that capability in-house. Not only does this reduce delays in care and patient drop-off, but it also improves continuity and strengthens your reputation as a full-service GI clinic. Adding ARM to your practice keeps patients under your care and simplifies their experience—while opening up a new revenue stream with minimal disruption to workflow.

3. You're Looking for a Scalable Way to Increase Revenue Without Adding Burden

Unlike other service expansions that require major space, staffing, or training investments, mcompass® was designed for simplicity and portability. The system can be used in nearly any exam room, by a variety of trained staff, and tests take as little as 15 minutes. With average reimbursement of over $700 per exam and a low equipment footprint, it’s an efficient way to grow without complicating your operations. You don’t have to overhaul your practice to grow. ARM with mcompass® offers a low-risk, high-impact addition to your services.

Conclusion

Adding ARM to your clinic’s diagnostic capabilities doesn’t just fill a gap in care—it transforms how you manage complex GI cases. With the ability to gather meaningful data, improve patient outcomes, and increase operational efficiency, mcompass® makes it easier than ever to provide better outcomes while scaling your practice. If you're seeing any of these signs, it's time to explore how ARM can support your growth.
