The promise of Precision Oncology
Perthera.ai's patented process provides physicians with an easy-to-use report with therapy options ranked by a unique approach combining existing evidence, real world evidence (RWE), a patient's past medical and treatment history, and their multi-omic molecular profile. The Perthera.ai approach to Precision Oncology combines AI capabilities with "humans in the loop" using a Virtual Molecular Tumor Board of disease-specific experts to further refine ranked options for every single patient. As new information becomes available for the patient, an updated report can be generated providing ongoing therapy decision support to the physician as the patient goes through their unique cancer journey.
CPT codes are created and maintained by the AMA CPT Editorial Panel and are used by government payers, including Medicare, Medicaid, and commercial health plans to identify healthcare services and procedures that are eligible for reimbursement. Category III CPT codes apply to emerging technologies and are valid for at least five years in order to measure both utilization and unique benefits, at which time the AMA may award a Category I CPT Code. Category III CPT codes serve as an important milestone for FDA approval and payment negotiations. This new CPT code will go into effect on July 1, 2023.
"The issuance of this CPT code provides a critical pathway to reimbursement and allows Perthera.ai to continue its mission to define excellence and scientific rigor in the area of clinically useful, AI-assisted Oncology decision support" said

About
Perthera.ai is a pioneer in using "multi-omic" test results (DNA, RNA, IHC, and phosphoproteomics) to advise doctors and patients on treatment options through our Precision Oncology Platform and the Perthera Report it generates. We collect past medical and treatment history along with multi-omic results from any source and use our proprietary Ranked Therapy Options process to identify the best treatments available for each patient. Uniquely, we follow patients longitudinally to obtain real world outcomes that further inform our recommendations. The Perthera Precision Oncology Platform has been validated through publications in peer-reviewed high-impact journals and has been shown clinically to increase survival rates for patients with pancreatic cancer who had actionable findings and followed its matched therapies. We are determined to make Perthera's Precision Oncology Platform and the Perthera Report the best resource available today for Oncologists in their treatment decision-making process.
