Medicare Reimbursement for CyPath Lung Effective Jan. 1

On Monday, Jan. 1, 2024, Medicare’s payment determination for CyPath® Lung became effective. The American Medical Association issued the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code 0406U for CyPath® Lung last June, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) accepted the Medicare Advisory Panel on Clinical Diagnostic Laboratory Tests’ recommendation for payment. The Medicare payment also serves as a reference for private payers. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Precision Pathology Laboratory Services, has set a price of $1,900 for CyPath® Lung. CMS’ 2024 clinical laboratory fee schedule reflects the rapid pace of innovation in medical science and health technology and is designed to ensure accurate coding and reporting of medical procedures and services.

bioAffinity Technologies Partners with the American Cancer Society to Increase Lung Cancer Screening

“The Power of Three”

bioAffinity Technologies joined the American Cancer Society and University of Texas Health San Antonio to raise awareness and funding for lung cancer screening, showing that when we work together, lung cancer screening programs are a success. There is still time to contribute to this important program that has increased lung cancer screening participation from 7% to 24% of those eligible. What we learn here can be used to increase screening in your hometown. Please DONATE to help save lives through the early detection of lung cancer.

Ending 2023 with our Partners in the Fight Against Lung Cancer

We ended the year participating in two important meetings. The American Cancer Society’s National Lung Cancer Roundtable is the premier event that brings clinicians, researchers, patients, caregivers and industry together to transform outcomes for individuals with lung cancer. As an NLCRT member, we were proud to participate with both physicians who will order CyPath® Lung and the patients who will benefit most from our test. We also focused on our military veterans at a meeting of the National Association of Veterans’ Research and Education Foundations (NAVREF) where we met with Terri Tanielian, Special Assistant to the President for Veterans Affairs, and Kit Teague, Executive Director of the Veterans Health Administration Innovation Ecosystem. Both organizations share our commitment to saving lives through early detection when lung cancer treatment is most effective.
