  • What operating system is needed to run the Blind Spot Mapping software? The Blind Spot Mapping software will operate on any PC with Microsoft 98 or newer.  The software comes with a security hardware device that plugs into a USB port.  Therefore, your computer must have a USB port to install the security device or the program will not run.

    Can I charge for blind spot mapping?

    I advise against charging separately for office PC based blind spot mapping.  The procedure takes only a couple of minutes to perform, if you have an attentive patient. 

    I view blind spot mapping as ONE of MANY functional assessments used in an effort to determine if there is any brain laterality (hemisphericity), such as:  bilateral blood pressure; palatal paresis; soft pyramidal (extensor) weaknesses; anisocoria, to name a few.  Blind spot mapping is just another way of assessing the central integrative state of the Thalamus. It is a part of the total examination findings.

    If you do a comprehensive neurological assessment, it would be appropriate to charge accordingly for the total time spent in evaluation.
