A new Category III Current Procedural Terminology Current Procedural Terminology See CPT. (CPT CPT See: Carriage Paid To ) Code became effective as of January 1 for Medicare coverage of ESWT procedures. Although the availability of Medicare reimbursement generally leads additional private health insurance carriers to cover a new procedure, it typically also has the effect of reducing the reimbursement rates offered by the insurance carriers that already cover such procedure. This situation is already exerting pressure on the ESWT mobile service industry which uses equipment that is 2 to 3 times more expensive than our Orbasone and too large to be used in the doctor's office. This can be a real opportunity for our Company to enter that segment of the market. Orbasone Mobile LLC will now provide participating doctors the opportunity to increase their practice by offering a non-invasive pain management procedures right in their office. Unlike other mobile service companies, because our Company also manufactures the Orbasone, we are afforded the flexibility to offer the largest clients of Orbasone Mobile the opportunity to purchase their own ESWT system at an attractive price.
