Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - October 10, 2024) - Therma Bright Inc. (TSXV: THRM) (OTCQB: TBRIF) (FSE: JNX) ("Therma" or the "Company"), a developer and investment partner in a wide range of leading-edge, proprietary diagnostic and medical device technologies, is pleased to announce that its nationwide U.S. medical device distribution partner as Quantify Medical as previously announced on August 22, 2024. Quantify Medical has witnessed promising preliminary success with its Venowave VW5 device sales and Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement program, which was established to test timelines and billing procedures.
Following the conclusion of the test, Quantify Medical looks to acquire the remaining Venowave VW5 inventory. If all inventory were to be purchased by the distributor it would represent up to USD $2.38M in HCPCS Level II code E068 reimbursement. In August 2024, the Venowave VW5 was the first device of its kind to receive permanent Medicare and Medicaid HCPCS Level II code, which qualifies for reimbursement for ten (10) indications.
"We are thrilled with the initial results of our Venowave VW5 device sales and the speed and efficiency of Medicare and Medicaid processing the HCPCS Level II code reimbursements," shared Justin Goldston, President of Quantify Medical. "We expect great results when we conclude this initial test with our provider network and look forward to a successful partnership with Rob and Therma Bright with Venowave."
Rob Fia, CEO of Therma Bright commented: "We are excited to announce Quantify Medical as our nationwide U.S. distribution partner and the initial success Quantify Medical has experienced with the Medicare/Medicaid reimbursement test. It has been a pleasure to work with Justin and his team and we look forward to providing updates on Quantify Medical's next Venowave sales milestones."
The Venowave VW5 device is a series of compact, battery-operated peristaltic pumps that generate a wave-form motion. When worn below the knee, strapped firmly to the calf, the device results in compression of the calf and consequently an increased upward volumetric displacement of venous and lymph fluid. The 2-pair unit induces improved vascular and lymphatic flow in the lower limbs. Operating with a single rechargeable 1.5 V NiMh AA battery, this FDA-designated Durable Medical Equipment device enables users to receive treatment anywhere while remaining active. The Venowave VW5 assures it can withstand repeated use by successive patients.
