Heartflow is hiring about 50 Territory Account Managers across the country and a Senior PMM to break down barriers to Plaque adoption. Its best adoption asset is a state coverage page: Florida's says Plaque Analysis is covered for 84% of patients and lists Medicare, Florida Blue, Aetna, UnitedHealthcare and Cigna with medical-necessity criteria. But only Florida and Arizona have one, so reps in New York, Ohio, Texas, Washington and the other new territories have no local page to send a cardiologist who asks "is this covered for my patients?"

Why it works
Build the template once from the Florida page and publish a page for each state where market access can confirm coverage: share of lives covered, named payers, medical-necessity criteria, the CY 2026 rates and a "contact your rep" form that routes to the territory. Link them from Reimbursement Resources and give each new rep their state link on day one.
Coverage is the first objection to a new test, and a local, verified answer lets reps move to clinical value in the first conversation. The pages also rank for "plaque analysis coverage [state]" searches.
