CDIO

Cardio Diagnostics Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CDIO) has been granted a dedicated CPT PLA code by the AMA for its AI-powered Epi+Gen CHD test, which assesses the risk of heart attacks or CHD events. This code, effective April 1, 2024, will facilitate reimbursement from federal and private payers, potentially increasing the test's adoption. The Epi+Gen CHD test offers personalized insights into CHD risk, leveraging genetic-epigenetic technology and AI. It has shown to be more sensitive and cost-effective than standard lipid-based risk calculators, especially for women. Cardio Diagnostics also provides an Employer Risk Intelligence platform to help employers manage healthcare costs related to heart disease.
