The company announced yesterday that the initial order of the Venowave product, which had been updated, had been sold to customers located in the United States. The product was sold through DME Authority, the exclusive distributor of the company.
The company also announced that it had also received the payments pertaining to the particular order. The initial sales in the United States were completed by way of an already existing reimbursement code and hence, there was the requirement of approval from the insurance provider of the patient. As a result, the sales cycle had been longer than expected for all parties concerned with the orders.
However, the company is currently working on many more reimbursement codes in the United States which would make it quicker and simpler for patients as well as doctors to order the Venowave product. The new codes are going to become effective at some point in the first half of 2023 and once that happens, a larger chunk of the United States market is going to open up for Venowave.
