November 13 2024 - 9:00AM
Heart Test Laboratories, Inc. d/b/a HeartSciences
(NASDAQ: HSCS; HSCSW) (“HeartSciences” or the “Company”), an
artificial intelligence (AI)-powered medical technology company
focused on transforming ECGs/EKGs to save lives through earlier
detection of heart disease, today announced that the Centers for
Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has included AI-ECG
technology in the 2025 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment
System (OPPS) final rule under assignment APC 5734. This approval
would allow outpatient settings to receive reimbursement for
HeartSciences’ MyoVista® wavECGTM algorithm and MyoVista®
InsightsTM low ejection fraction algorithm, upon FDA clearance. The
payment rate is expected to be $125.
Andrew Simpson, CEO of HeartSciences, said, “The
inclusion of AI-ECG for reimbursement by CMS represents a
significant milestone for commercialization of our products and
further validates the enormous market opportunity, particularly
given the widespread use of the ECG in clinical practice. We look
forward to submitting to the FDA and bringing to market both our
MyoVista wavECG and MyoVista Insights platform in 2025.”
