# AMA expands CPT codes for SSKN's XTRAC laser; now covers vitiligo, atopic dermatitis, alopecia

## Summary
- AMA CPT Editorial Panel revised codes 96920-96922 to include inflammatory/autoimmune skin diseases beyond psoriasis.
- Expanded coverage unlocks up to 30M potential patients (vs. 10M psoriasis-only), including 3M vitiligo, 16.5M atopic dermatitis patients.
- Expected to reduce systemic denials and prior authorizations; non-psoriasis treatments were ~30% of 2023 Medicare volume.
- CEO Dr. Rafaeli calls it an 'inflection point' for XTRAC; company expects accelerated revenue growth and broader clinic adoption.
- STRATA collaborated with leading dermatologists (Dr. Lebwohl, Dr. Grimes, Dr. Richard) on the CPT change application.
