From Decision to Diagnosis in 30 Days
CardiaX deploys as software on your existing CT scanners. No capital spend. No construction. No downtime. First billable FFR-CT case in 30 days.
Four Phases. Thirty Days.
Each phase is structured around your existing workflows — radiology, IT, and billing all aligned before go-live.
Infrastructure & Compatibility Review
CardiaX evaluates your existing CT infrastructure, EHR configuration, and cardiac case volume before any contract is signed. No surprises at deployment.
- CT scanner compatibility check — requires 64+ slice CCTA capability
- EHR integration review — Epic, Cerner, and Meditech supported out of the box
- DICOM/HL7 pathway audit — verifies image routing to AI analysis layer
- Cardiology volume baseline — quantifies weekly CCTA case throughput
- IT security & HIPAA compliance pre-check — zero firewall changes required
Software Deployment on Existing Hardware
This is the defining advantage of the CardiaX model. No scanner replacement. No facility construction. No downtime. Software overlays on your current 64+ slice CT scanners.
- Software-only install — no capital equipment purchase, no lease, no construction
- DICOM image routing configured — automatic push from scanner to AI pipeline
- EHR output integration — FFR-CT results delivered directly into radiologist workflow
- PACS compatibility validated — structured report generation for cardiology reads
- Billing module activation — CPT 75580 claim template configured for your RCM team
Radiologist & Technician Workflow Training
Training is structured around minimal disruption. Radiologists learn to interpret AI-assisted reads alongside the CREDENCE trial benchmarks. Billing teams get CPT 75580 workflow documentation.
- Radiologist training — interpreting AI-assisted FFR-CT reads (4–6 hours CME-eligible)
- Technician protocol training — CCTA acquisition for optimal AI analysis input
- Keya ADAPT-validated algorithms — 86.9% sensitivity, 86.7% specificity reference guide
- Billing & coding walkthrough — CPT 75580 documentation requirements and common denial scenarios
- IT runbook — incident escalation contacts, update schedule, and uptime SLA documentation
First Billable Cases. Revenue from Day One.
Go-live is supervised. CardiaX clinical support is on-call for your first five cases — real cases, billed under CPT 75580 at $1,017 average Medicare reimbursement (Based on 2024 CMS Physician Fee Schedule. Rates subject to annual revision.).
- Supervised go-live — CardiaX support on-call for first 5 production cases
- First claim submission — CPT 75580 billed same day as analysis completion
- 89% payer acceptance rate — Medicare permanent (since 2024) plus major commercial plans
- Monthly performance report — cases analyzed, revenue generated, denial rate, AI accuracy metrics
- Ongoing software updates — AI algorithm improvements deployed automatically
The Numbers That Matter to CFOs
Every metric below has been validated in peer-reviewed clinical trials and commercial payer contracts.
Capital Equipment Cost
Software-only deployment on existing 64+ slice CT scanners. Compare to $1.5M–$2.5M for a new CT scanner purchase or lease. No equipment financing. No depreciation risk.
Payer Acceptance Rate
Medicare established permanent reimbursement for CPT 75580 in 2024. Major commercial plans including UnitedHealth, Aetna, Cigna, and BCBS have followed. First-pass denial rate under 5% at high-volume programs.
Diagnostic Sensitivity
Validated in the CREDENCE trial — the largest head-to-head comparison of FFR-CT vendors. Keya's ADAPT algorithm outperformed invasive FFR correlation benchmarks. FDA-cleared for clinical use.
Hospitals on Platform
CardiaX OS is deployed across 1,100+ hospitals. Integration with Epic, Cerner, and Meditech. Supports rural critical access hospitals through large academic medical centers.
Revenue at 5, 10, and 20 Cases Per Week
Conservative projections at $1,017 average reimbursement and 85% net collection rate (accounts for payer mix, patient responsibility, and denials).
