Significant events during the reporting period
In October, Paxman successfully passed its recertification audit. The dedication of Paxman’s quality team plays a pivotal role in ensuring we remain compliant with global regulatory standards. This thorough audit assessed our documented management system processes, as well as documents and records related to the design, development, manufacture, inspection, and servicing of our Scalp Coolers, aligning with key standards such as ISO 13485, MDSAP, and EU MDR.
Later in October the American Medical Association (AMA) issued 3 CPT® Category I codes for mechanical scalp cooling, effective from January 1st, 2026. This issuance of a permanent CPT® I codes is one of the most significant breakthroughs in Paxman’s efforts towards widespread adoption of Paxman’s insurancebased billing model.
On November 1st, CMS published the OPPS Final Rule, this is the Hospital Outpatient Prospective Payment System. Based on the updated claims data available since the proposed rule earlier in the year, the payment rate calculated using their methodology falls within the cost band for New Technology APC 1519 (New Technology - Level 19 ($1701-$1800). Therefore, they are assigning CPT code 0662T to APC 1519 for 2025 as opposed to APC 1515, which was $1350.50.
On 5th December, Paxman announced that founder and board member Glenn Paxman, CIMON Venture Trust AB (represented by the chairman Per-Anders Johansson) and board members and the board members Björn Littorin and Robert Kelly sold shares in the company. All selling parties entered a lockup agreement for 180 days. In total, the transaction amounted to 2,000,000 shares. Among the new owners are SEB Investment Management, Carnegie Fonder, Aktia Asset Management, and Adrigo Asset Management. The high level of interest in the company is a clear signaller of performance, but more importantly a future opportunity to build a strong profitable business providing a clear impact socially.
A legislative bill (A38-A/S2063-A) in the State of New York was signed into law on 13th December 2024, requiring insurance coverage of scalp cooling systems to prevent hair loss. The bill is an acknowledgement of the importance of scalp cooling to help reduce and manage chemotherapy -induced alopecia and will highlight and narrow the disparities in access to a treatment.
