NeuroOne® Granted Approval of ICD-10 Procedure Code for sEEG RF Ablation
June 20 2024 - 9:30AM
NeuroOne Medical Technologies Corporation (Nasdaq: NMTC)
(“NeuroOne” or the “Company”), a medical technology company focused
on improving surgical care options and outcomes for patients
suffering from neurological disorders, today announced that the
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has approved and
granted a new ICD-10-PCS (International Classification of
Diseases, 10th Revision, Procedure Coding System) code for the
OneRF™ Ablation procedure. The new code is 00503Z4 Destruction of
Brain Using Stereoelectroencephalographic Radiofrequency Ablation,
Percutaneous Approach. This code allows hospital reporting of
inpatient procedures that are performed using the OneRF™ Ablation
system, which has FDA 510(k) clearance for creation of
radiofrequency (“RF”) lesions in nervous tissue for functional
neurosurgical procedures. ICD-10-PCS codes play a critical role in
the healthcare system, ensuring efficient and accurate
documentation, billing, and analysis. The code goes into effect
beginning October 1, 2024.
“We are pleased that CMS has provided an
ICD-10-PCS code that describes our OneRF procedure, which we
believe will drive better recognition of our technology and greater
utilization within the healthcare system,” said Dave Rosa, CEO of
NeuroOne. “In our view, CMS approval of our new code is a critical
step in facilitating broader market acceptance of our technology’s
potential to reduce hospital stays, numbers of surgeries, and
adverse events, while offering enhanced patient safety.”
The OneRF™ Ablation System is NeuroOne’s first
device with a therapeutic indication and its third FDA
510(k)-cleared device. NeuroOne now boasts a full line of thin film
electrode technology to address patients requiring diagnostic brain
mapping procedures as well as RF ablation using the same sEEG
electrode. In addition to the OneRF™ Ablation System, NeuroOne’s
other FDA-cleared devices include the Evo® cortical and sEEG
electrode product lines which are used primarily for stimulation,
recording and monitoring of electrical activity in the brain for
less than 30 days.
NeuroOne estimates the current brain ablation
market to be at least $100M worldwide and growing rapidly, with the
potential to grow multifold based on large addressable patient
populations with unmet clinical needs.
