CMS Approves New HCPCS Code for AutoChamber™ AI, Enhancing Reimbursement and Accessibility

HeartLung Technologies is pleased to announce that the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has assigned a new Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS) reimbursement code G0183 that allows for reimbursement of HeartLung’s AutoChamber™ for reporting cardiac chambers volume and left ventricular mass in existing CT scans. This new code, which went into effect on April 1, 2025, offers a reimbursement rate of $88.05 per each AutoChamber™ AI report

“This is an incredible achievement for HeartLung Technologies. The CMS reimbursement not only validates the clinical value of AutoChamber’s FDA Breakthrough designation but also ensures that more patients can benefit from our lifesaving AI solutions.” - Dr. Morteza Naghavi, MD, Founder and President of HeartLung Technologies, and founder of nonprofit SHAPE (Society for Heart Attack Prevention and Eradication www.vp.org).

AutoChamber™ is a proprietary AI technology designed to work with both non-contrast and contrast-enhanced chest CT scans, delivering precise measurements of cardiac volume, cardiac chamber volumes, and left ventricular wall mass. This AI-driven tool identifies cardiomegaly and enlargement of specific cardiac chambers, such as the left atrium (LA) and left ventricle (LV), which are frequently overlooked in standard scans. By detecting these conditions early, AutoChamber™ AI aids in preventing life-threatening diseases like stroke, heart failure, and atrial fibrillation. The new HCPCS code facilitates reimbursement for this innovative technology, broadening its availability to patients across the United States.

The inclusion of the new HCPCS code in the April 2025 Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) update highlights CMS's dedication to fostering medical innovation. HeartLung Technologies continues to lead the way in developing AI-driven healthcare solutions that transform patient care and support healthcare providers.

This represents a major milestone in HeartLung’s journey to advancing preventive medicine, saving lives and cutting costs with AI. Our healthcare system needs many more initiatives like this for early detection and prevention of fatal diseases vs. treating late-stage diseases which consume most of our healthcare budget.
