Jeffrey O’Donnell, PhotoMedex CEO and President, commented, “Once again, we were cash-flow positive from operations in the quarter, which continues to demonstrate the progress we are making. With the addition of United Healthcare reimbursing for the XTRAC, some geographies now have a critical mass of covered lives and significant reimbursement levels. We have therefore initiated regional direct-to-consumer awareness programs to ramp procedures in these geographic areas. We are optimistic about the result this will have on utilization of the XTRAC in accounts in these areas.”
