PROCEPT BioRobotics Announces New CPT® Category I Code from the American Medical Association for Aquablation therapy
17 Giugno 2024 - 10:03PM
PROCEPT BioRobotics® Corporation (Nasdaq: PRCT) (the “Company”), a
surgical robotics company focused on advancing patient care by
developing transformative solutions in urology, announced today
that the American Medical Association (“AMA”) has established a new
Current Procedural Terminology (“CPT”) Category I code for
transurethral waterjet resection of prostate tissue (“Aquablation
therapy”) to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia (“BPH”).
In response to increased utilization of Aquablation therapy and
strong evidence for its clinical outcomes, the AMA accepted PROCEPT
BioRobotics’ application for a Category I CPT code, which will
replace the existing Category III CPT code starting January 1,
2026. In the meantime, U.S. hospitals and physicians performing
Aquablation therapy procedures should continue to utilize the
existing Category III code, 0421T.
“We are pleased that Aquablation therapy was approved by the
AMA’s CPT® Editorial Panel for Category I code status,” said Reza
Zadno, CEO of PROCEPT BioRobotics. “The Category I code designation
is a testament to the widespread adoption, safety and effectiveness
of Aquablation therapy in treating BPH. We greatly appreciate the
support and guidance the American Urological Association provided
throughout this process.”
About Aquablation TherapyAquablation therapy is
the first and only ultrasound guided, robotic-assisted, heat-free
waterjet for the treatment of BPH. The system’s real-time
ultrasound imaging provides the surgeon with a multi-dimensional
view of the prostate enabling personalized treatment planning
tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy. The surgeon can specify
which areas of the prostate to remove while preserving the anatomy
that controls erectile function, ejaculatory function and
continence. Once the treatment plan is mapped by the surgeon, the
predictable robotic-assisted execution enables prostate tissue to
be removed in a precise, targeted, and controlled fashion.
About PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationPROCEPT
BioRobotics is a surgical robotics company focused on advancing
patient care by developing transformative solutions in urology.
PROCEPT BioRobotics develops, manufactures and sells the AquaBeam
Robotic System, an advanced, image-guided, surgical robotic system
for use in minimally invasive urologic surgery with an initial
focus on treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, or BPH. BPH is the
most common prostate disease and impacts approximately 40 million
men in the United States. PROCEPT BioRobotics designed Aquablation
therapy to deliver effective, safe and durable outcomes for males
suffering from lower urinary tract symptoms, or LUTS, due to BPH
that are independent of prostate size and shape or surgeon
experience. The Company has developed a significant and growing
body of clinical evidence, which includes nine clinical studies and
over 150 peer-reviewed publications, supporting the benefits and
clinical advantages of Aquablation therapy.
