UPDATE - NeurAxis Announces New Medical Policy Coverage with a Prominent Insurer for Over Five Million Lives Across Multiple States
January 21 2025 - 12:45PM
NeurAxis, Inc. ("NeurAxis," or the "Company") (NYSE American:
NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation
therapies addressing chronic and debilitating conditions in
children and adults, today announced medical policy coverage for
Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS), with a
prominent insurer, with approximately 5.1 million members across 13
states.
NeurAxis’ PENFS technology, IB-Stim, is
FDA-cleared for functional abdominal pain associated with irritable
bowel syndrome (IBS) in adolescents 8-21 years old. IB-Stim is a
non-surgical device that sends gentle electrical impulses into
cranial nerve bundles in the ear. There are currently no
FDA-approved drug therapies for children with abdominal
pain-related disorders of the gut-brain interaction. Off label
pharmacologic treatments can often have serious side effects, and
most lack scientific evidence of efficacy.
Brian Carrico, President and Chief Executive
Officer of NeurAxis, commented, "We are thrilled about our recent
insurance coverage, which marks our initial expansion into the
states of MI, IL, NY, TX, and others. This milestone underscores
the impact of our strong body of published research, which
continues to drive broader insurance coverage for IB-Stim. As
highlighted in my recent Letter to Shareholders, we've
significantly increased our insurance coverage to 51 million
lives—a remarkable leap from just 4 million a year ago.
Additionally, our recently achieved CPT I code, and the expanded
age range from 11–18 years to 8–21 years will allow us to provide
care for the approximately 600,000 individuals suffering from
irritable bowel syndrome."
