EBR Systems (ASX:EBR) said that the US Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has proposed the approval of a new technology add-on payment for the company's WiSE cardiac resynchronization therapy system for the treatment of heart failure, according to a Tuesday filing with the Australian bourse.
If approved, the maximum add-on payment will be 65% of the device cost in addition to standard Medicare payments and will be effective for three years starting Oct. 1, the filing said.
The company plans to seek similar support for outpatient use, the filing added.
