(ASX: EBR), developer of the world\u2019s only leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing (LVEP) system for heart failure, today announced that the U.S. Centers for Medicare &amp; Medicaid Services (CMS) has initiated a National Coverage Determination (NCD) to evaluate uniform Medicare coverage for leadless LV endocardial pacing used in cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).<\/p><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260609744651\/en\/2826464\/5\/EBR_-_Logo_-_Stacked_-_Dark.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260609744651\/en\/2826464\/22\/EBR_-_Logo_-_Stacked_-_Dark.jpg\" \/><\/a><br\/><a href=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260609744651\/en\/2826464\/5\/EBR_-_Logo_-_Stacked_-_Dark.jpg\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mms.businesswire.com\/media\/20260609744651\/en\/2826464\/21\/EBR_-_Logo_-_Stacked_-_Dark.jpg\" \/><\/a><p>\nThe initiation of the NCD process is a key outcome of EBR\u2019s engagement with CMS through the Transitional Coverage for Emerging Technologies (TCET) pathway and represents a significant milestone in establishing uniform national Medicare coverage for the WiSE System.<\/p><p>\n<b>Key highlights:<\/b><\/p><ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li>\nEBR\u2019s WiSE\u00ae System is the first technology to enter CMS\u2019s TCET program, underscoring the differentiated clinical significance and innovation of leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing.<\/li>\n<li>\nThe TCET program expedites Medicare coverage for FDA-designated Breakthrough Devices, and CMS has formally initiated the NCD process for the WiSE System \u2013 a major step toward broad national access for patients.<\/li>\n<li>\nCMS's projected timeline, which would deliver WiSE NCD approval by early 2027, is significantly faster than the typical pathway of more than three to five years without TCET.<\/li>\n<li>\nA positive NCD decision would establish a uniform Medicare coverage framework, materially expand patient access, and support scaled U.S. commercialization.<\/li>\n<\/ul><p>\nEBR was the first company selected for the TCET program by CMS, which was launched in 2025 after an earlier pilot phase. TCET provides a meaningfully accelerated pathway compared with the typical three- to five-year timeframe for companies pursuing national Medicare coverage. The WiSE System received U.S. FDA Breakthrough Device designation and U.S. FDA approval, supporting EBR\u2019s progress through TCET toward a national Medicare coverage pathway. A positive NCD outcome would support broader Medicare coverage, expanded patient access, and U.S. commercialization efforts.<\/p><p>\nThe WiSE System received FDA approval in April 2025. CMS granted approval for both the New Technology Add-on Payment (NTAP) program for inpatient procedures and the Transitional Pass-Through (TPT) payment for outpatient procedures, effective 1 October 2025. The ongoing NCD process is intended to establish a national Medicare coverage framework for eligible patients and providers, further supporting access and adoption of the therapy across the U.S.<\/p><p>\nCMS publishes updates regarding the NCD process through its publicly available tracking sheet: <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.cms.gov%2Fmedicare-coverage-database%2Fview%2Fncacal-tracking-sheet.aspx%3Fncaid%3D322&amp;esheet=54549723&amp;newsitemid=20260609744651&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=LINK&amp;index=1&amp;md5=f578144ab3d400928d8a911cb9499254\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">LINK<\/a><\/p><p>\nUnder the published timeline, CMS expects the NCD for WiSE to begin in early 2027. Until a national coverage determination takes effect, the WiSE System will continue to be evaluated on an individual basis for coverage of Medicare beneficiaries based on medical necessity.<\/p><p>\nFor more information about EBR, please visit <a  href=\"https:\/\/cts.businesswire.com\/ct\/CT?id=smartlink&amp;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebrsystemsinc.com%2F&amp;esheet=54549723&amp;newsitemid=20260609744651&amp;lan=en-US&amp;anchor=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebrsystemsinc.com%2F&amp;index=2&amp;md5=225341e51cd8c8be0fd0f4ce56e2737d\" rel=\"nofollow\" shape=\"rect\">https:\/\/www.ebrsystemsinc.com\/<\/a>.<\/p><p>\n<b>About EBR Systems<\/b><\/p><p>\nEBR Systems is a cardiac rhythm management company on a clear mission: to transform the lives of people with heart failure by helping physicians deliver optimal cardiac pacing. The WiSE System\u2014the first FDA approved system for leadless left ventricular endocardial pacing (LVEP) in CRT\u2014combines advanced engineering with peer-reviewed clinical evidence to expand access for patients who previously lacked options and to improve outcomes.<\/p><p>\n<b>EBR Systems\u2019 WiSE Technology<\/b><\/p><p>\nThe WiSE System delivers LV endocardial pacing without a transvenous LV lead using targeted ultrasound. A subcutaneous transmitter and battery detect the RV pacing signal and, within milliseconds, emit ultrasound energy that a rice-sized endocardial electrode converts into an electrical pulse\u2014enabling synchronized biventricular pacing. This LVEP approach is engineered for versatility across patient anatomies and is supported by peer-reviewed outcomes from SOLVE-CRT pivotal trial. WiSE is approved for commercial use in the United States and limited to clinical study use outside of the United States.<\/p><p>\n<b>Forward-Looking Statements<\/b><\/p><p>\nThis announcement contains or may contain forward-looking statements that are based on management\u2019s beliefs, assumptions, and expectations and on information currently available to management.
