Cleerly says its advanced plaque analysis software for cardiovascular imaging will be eligible for reimbursement from UnitedHealthcare and Cigna starting October 1.
The coverage decision is applicable to Cleerly LABS' artificial intelligence-quantitative coronary tomography (AI-QCT) and coronary plaque analysis (AI-CPA) software, it said.
AI-powered coronary plaque analysis provides an alternative to invasive procedures, according to the firm. Through new streamlined coverage criteria, Medicare's local coverage determinations, and EviCore’s recently updated guidelines, more patients will become eligible, it noted.
