According to a recent LinkedIn post from Cooler Heads, new Category I CPT codes have been established for mechanical scalp cooling services associated with chemotherapy. The post outlines three codes, 97007 through 97009, covering cap supply and fitting, hair preparation and therapy initiation, and post-chemotherapy cooling time in 30-minute increments.

The post suggests these codes could influence how providers design and bill for scalp cooling programs, including those that may use Cooler Heads’ Amma system. For investors, clearer reimbursement pathways could support broader clinical adoption, potentially increasing utilization of scalp cooling technologies and improving revenue visibility for vendors serving oncology practices.
The update may also signal continued integration of supportive oncology services into standard care, which could expand the addressable market for mechanical scalp cooling solutions. However, the financial impact for Cooler Heads will depend on payer coverage decisions, provider uptake of the new codes, and the company’s ability to convert interest in compliant billing into commercial contracts for its Amma system.
