Take Control of Hidden Pressure Injury Costs
Let's TalkWhat you can’t see can cost you millions. SEM scanning technology detects, benchmarks, and documents present-on-admission (POA) and hospital-acquired pressure injuries (HAPIs) 5 days (median) earlier than VSA.¹
Earlier detection and stronger documentation help health systems avoid treatment costs, protect reimbursements, reduce liability exposure, and improve bed utilization. Let us run a customized pressure injury ROI analysis for you.

Financial Challenges We Solve
Quality & Safety
Behind every HAPI is a patient. Reduce harm, eliminate suffering, and ensure equitable care.
Protect Reimbursement
A single missed POA can cost $10,000 per case.5 Quantify non-visible PI damage within 24 hours for full reimbursement.
Inverted Cost Curve
A small number of severe pressure injuries drives disproportionately large costs. Reduce avoidable costs, risk, and penalties with early prevention.
Lawsuits & Liability
PIs are the second most common healthcare lawsuit, with an average settlement of $250,000 per case.6
We avoided $217,680 in costs in just 30 days, which translates to over $1.5M in avoided treatment costs in a year.

Paying the Ultimate Price
Every year, patients endure untold suffering from preventable pressure injuries, with approximately 60,000 PI-related deaths.2 SEM scanning provides objective early detection to ensure safe, equitable care across all skin tones.7
Spend Less While Improving Care
Eliminate unnecessary treatments, reduce penalties, and avoid extended stays, all while improving clinical outcomes.
Every dollar spent on SEM scanning technology returns an average of $7.45 to your facility through avoided treatment costs and reduced length of stay.8
Protect Your Margins
Prevention doesn’t just save on supplies, wound care, and ICU time. It also frees up beds and improves throughput.
Make sure patients have access to critical care when they need it most, and protect reimbursements with the Provizio® SEM Scanner and CMS ICD-10-PCS code.
Defensible Data & Timely Interventions
Pressure injury lawsuits are among the most frequent and financially impactful. (Petrone K., et al. 2017) Avoid millions of dollars in legal exposure and liability each year with defensible data that’s clinically proven and evidence-based.
Time Saved Is Money Earned
Lower costs and protect your margins while improving care. Let’s talk ROI based on your numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there direct reimbursement for the scanner itself?
While there is currently no direct Part B reimbursement for the Provizio SEM scanner hardware, the ICD-10-PCS code (XX2KXP9) allows for formal documentation that supports overall facility reimbursement accuracy.
What is the ROI on SEM scanning?
Every $1 spent on SEM scanning technology returns an average of $7.45 to the facility through avoided treatment costs and reduced length of stay.8 We can run a customized ROI analysis on your specific system or sites at your convenience, and you can see more detail on how we calculate the ROI here.
How does this impact institutional risk reduction?
Delivering a 5-day (median) early warning window,1 our SEM scanning platform can reduce risk three-fold,9 materially lowering the likelihood of high-stage, litigious injuries.
