“Beginning March 5, we’re making millions of Veterans eligible for VA health care years earlier than called for by the PACT Act,” said VA Under Secretary for Health Shereef Elnahal, M.D.

The same VA Under Secretary for Health we were lucky to have appear on the AMSUS toxic exposure panel session co-sponsored by Philips two weeks ago that (based on the information available indicated), in part, involved a discussion about 4DMedical’s technology ability to help diagnose Veterans exposed to burn pit. Hope it’s still fresh in his mind…

US$20bn PACT Act budget was originally set for CY2024 for toxic exposures. The amount will presumably now be higher given the above bring forward of eligibility.

The presentation today highlights “multiple opportunities in play” (or, as Ord Minnett put it, “multiple shots on goal”) for VA toxic exposure scan uptake and, more broadly, to advance VA adoption of products for other lung diseases (given our comprehensive and expanding product suite).
