Who We Serve: Employers, Insurance Carriers/TPAs, Clinics/Physicians/Specialists, People Like You.
Emerge Diagnostic’s electrodiagnostic solutions serve people like you.
We provide objective evaluations of musculoskeletal conditions, which have traditionally eluded MRI and X-ray capabilities. Our diagnostic tools allow clinicians to evaluate a full range of motion to pinpoint diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions. For anyone looking for an objective musculoskeletal conditions diagnosis, Emerge provides results you can trust.
The symptoms of musculoskeletal conditions run the gamut: from headaches to pains in the neck, shoulder, or back to convulsive or atrophied muscles.
Diagnosing musculoskeletal conditions has traditionally been fraught with interpretation and argument – what was the true cause? What is the specific treatment?
Emerge Diagnostics takes the guesswork out of assessment and diagnosis. Our technology helps you avoid unnecessary and invasive treatments, such as neck or back surgery–as well as decreased narcotic use. Emerge couples the powers of technology and medical expertise in the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, so you or the people you care for can get back to life.
Employers
EFA Programs Substantially Reduce Costs and Improve Outcomes
Workers’ compensation law holds employers liable for bringing an injured employee back to pre-injury condition. Emerge’s EFA-STM Program provides a comprehensive and objective bookend solution to ensure employers are protected against claims of discrimination as well as disability, while complying with all ADA and EEOC regulations.
Our EFA-STM Program measures current and new employees before and after workplace incidents to help you determine if a reported injury arises out of the course and scope of employment (AOECOE). By comparing pre- and post-injury data, the EFA-STM Program is a recommended best practice to provide better care for work related incidents .
The EFA-STM Program can positively impact your current direct and indirect costs, as well as potential future costs created by CMS Mandatory Reporting.
Emerge’s EFA Test Is Proven in Court and Has Changed Case Law
The EFA Test objectively diagnoses and precisely identifies the location, extent, nature and age of soft tissue injuries, providing information that MRIs, X-rays, and CT scans cannot. Our EFA test has successfully passed several legal challenges, including acceptance in Federal court under the Daubert standards for admissibility in court. Emerge has had successful Motions to Compel EFA testing.
Insurance Carriers/TPAs
The EFA Test can Assist Insurance Carriers TPAs with:
- Integrated IME EFA evaluations
- Disability Social Security Evaluations
- MMI and Return to Work Evaluations
- Impactful outcomes for private health insurance
- Determining AOECOE

The objective information provided by Emerge’s EFA Test to physicians prevents costly misdiagnoses, unnecessary or inappropriate surgeries and treatments, and prolonged recovery periods.
Clinics/Physicians/Specialists
The EFA Test Provides Accurate Diagnosis of Soft Tissue Injuries
Because MRIs, X-rays and CT scans are not designed to be dynamic or to assess muscle function, they cannot help with sprain and strain injuries. Emerge’s Electrodiagnostic Functional Assessment (EFA) Test is designed to objectively identify, locate, and diagnose the location, identify the nature, and diagnose the extent and age of musculoskeletal conditions. Our EFA Test also provides site-specific treatment recommendations to speed the recovery process.
The EFA Test is a new and valuable tool to be used in conjunction with, or as a complement to other diagnostic tests, including X-ray and MRI, giving you more information for a better diagnosis. Our EFA Device is registered with the FDA as a Class II Medical Device for the diagnosis of musculoskeletal disorders.
Five Tests in One
Emerge’s EFA Test is a noninvasive and non-loading diagnostic evaluation that combines five American Medical Association accepted tests into one comprehensive, objective and reproducible evaluation.
Our EFA Test includes 1) range of motion, 2) functional assessment, 3) pinch strength, 4) grip strength, and 5) electromyography (EMG).
For accurate diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions of the back, neck, shoulder, and extremities, including repetitive strain injury, the EFA Test identifies the location and age of injury and determines if the patient is compliant, malingering, and/or in pain.
Easy to Implement for Better Care and Cost Savings
You can easily place and implement our EFA Test in an occupational health clinic setting. Emerge medical staff reviews post-loss tests and provides your clinic with a comprehensive report allowing targeted, site-specific treatment for better outcomes.
The objective information provided by Emerge’s EFA Test aids in accurate first-time diagnosis, avoids unnecessary or inappropriate surgeries and treatments, leads to swifter recovery times, and provides evidence to prevent fraudulent claims from tying up your resources.
Accurate Diagnosis Provides Proper Treatment and Speeds Recovery
Using non-invasive technology, our EFA Test can accurately diagnose musculoskeletal conditions of the back, neck, shoulder, and extremities, including repetitive strain injury. Our device provides information about your injured muscles that MRIs, X-rays, and CT scans would otherwise miss.
The information we provide your physician from the EFA Test can pinpoint the muscle group location of your musculoskeletal conditions, identify their nature, and diagnose their extent and age. Along with this information, our test results provide targeted information, allowing site-specific treatment to improve your care and hasten your recovery. Our EFA Test has been shown to reduce potential misdiagnoses, prevent unnecessary or inappropriate surgeries and treatments, and get you healed and back in action more quickly.
