Claims Remitted for Payment by All Four Billing
Regions
Orthotics and Prosthetics Providers Beginning
to Receive Reimbursement at Published Rates
Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the
“Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers
increased functionality for those suffering from neurological
disorders and upper-limb paralysis, today announced that the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”), through their
regional contractors known as the DME MACs, have remitted and paid
lump sum reimbursements to the Company and are beginning to
reimburse orthotics and prosthetics (“O&P”) providers for
MyoPros delivered to Medicare Part B beneficiaries.
The amounts paid were based on the fees published by CMS for the
Company's Healthcare Common Procedures Coding System (“HCPCS”)
codes L8701 and L8702, which became effective on April 1, 2024. All
four regional DME MAC's have remitted lump sum reimbursements, and
payments have been received for a number of patients of the Company
and O&P providers based on the published fee schedule.
“We’re pleased to see that lump sum payments have been approved
from all four billing regions so that Medicare beneficiaries also
have equitable access to this life-changing technology,” stated
Paul R. Gudonis, Myomo’s Chairman and CEO. “We are also gratified
by the interest we are seeing from clinical providers in the
orthotics and prosthetics industry since one of our MyoPro Centers
of Excellence providers had its first claim paid by Medicare. With
the MyoPro now being reimbursed by CMS, our channel partners and
other health professionals should now have greater clarity of
reimbursement as long as their patients are medically appropriate
to receive the device with proper physician documentation.”
About Myomo
Myomo, Inc. is a wearable medical robotics company that offers
improved arm and hand function for those suffering from
