AUSTIN, Texas, July 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mobia Medical, Inc. (Nasdaq: MOBI), a commercial-stage medical device company redefining stroke recovery for survivors living with life-altering motor impairments, today announced that the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed to maintain CPT® Code 64568, the procedure code used for the Vivistim® procedure, under the New Technology Ambulatory Payment Classification (APC) 1580 for calendar year (CY) 2027, with an associated hospital outpatient payment rate of approximately $45,000, unchanged from the CY 2026 rate. CMS is expected to publish the final Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System (OPPS) rule in November of this year, with any changes taking effect January 1, 2027.
“We are pleased that CMS has proposed to maintain CPT Code 64568, and therefore the Vivistim procedure, under New Technology APC 1580 in 2027,” said Richard Foust, President and Chief Executive Officer of Mobia. “Continuity in reimbursement rates preserves stability for hospitals in order to confidently expand their Vivistim Programs and broaden access to our technology at their institutions for Medicare beneficiaries. We believe this proposed outcome will support ongoing commercial momentum and expanded market adoption of Vivistim in 2027 and beyond.”
