NeurAxis Announces New Medical Policy Coverage For Nearly Six Million Lives in Florida
16 Mai 2024 - 3:00PM
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 the publication of medical
policy coverage for Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation
(PENFS), with a Blue Cross Blue Shield (BCBS) licensee in Florida.
This BCBS licensee has nearly 6 million members, expanding
IB-Stim’s policy coverage to roughly 22.5 million total lives.
IB-Stim™ is a non-surgical device that sends
gentle electrical impulses into cranial nerve bundles in the ear.
NeurAxis’ PENFS technology is FDA-cleared for functional abdominal
pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adolescents
11-18 years old. There are currently no FDA-approved drug therapies
for children with abdominal pain-related disorders of the gut-brain
interaction. The current medical treatments, which are off-label
drugs, can often have serious side effects, and most lack
scientific evidence of efficacy.
“I am excited regarding the coverage expansion
in the state of Florida, where there are 12 children’s hospitals,
many of whom are ready to either expand or launch the use of
IB-Stim with this new policy coverage.” said Brian Carrico,
President and Chief Executive Officer of NeurAxis. “We continue to
make progress on our commercialization strategy goals for IB-Stim
by increasing payer coverage to drive market adoption of our
technology. The proof of concept of our strategy is becoming
apparent, as we are now seeing the expansion of policies and
covered lives translating to revenue growth,” Mr. Carrico
concluded.
