The U.S. Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has renewed a reimbursement structure to pay clinicians for the use of Viz.ai's artificial intelligence (AI) stroke software.
CMS granted new technology add-on payment (NTAP) renewal status for the use of Viz.ai's Viz LVO, which was formerly known as Viz ContaCT, an AI algorithm that detects strokes on CT scans. Reimbursement is available up to $1,040 per eligible patient.
The renewal was given after CMS ruled that the software saved time, improved outcomes, and increased access to care, according to Viz.ai.
