Medicare Coverage Solidified for ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton
02 11월 2023 - 9:00PM
ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) (“ReWalk” or the “Company”), a
leading provider of innovative technologies that enable mobility
and wellness in rehabilitation and daily life for individuals with
neurological conditions, today announced its appreciation to the
Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) for finalizing
the Calendar Year 2024 Home Health Prospective Payment System Rule
CMS-1780 (“2024 Home Health Rule”) which solidifies the inclusion
of exoskeletons in the Medicare brace benefit category. The final
rule was released by CMS on November 1, 2023 and will go into
effect beginning on January 1, 2024.
In the final rule, CMS reiterates that including exoskeletons
within the existing brace category will “expedite coverage and
payment for newer technology and powered devices, potentially
providing faster access to these new healthcare technologies for
Medicare beneficiaries,” and will “particularly help those with
disabilities associated with muscular and/or neural (for example,
spinal cord injuries) conditions.”
“Finalization of this rule by CMS is a major milestone in our
efforts to expand access to this life-changing technology for the
substantial proportion of the spinal cord injury community with
Medicare coverage,” said Larry Jasinski, CEO of ReWalk Robotics.
“The vision at ReWalk has always been to enable broad access to
walking, climbing curbs or stairs, and standing during eye-to-eye
conversations in everyday life for individuals living with spinal
cord injury. This technology has tremendous impacts for users at
both a physical and psychological level. The decision by CMS to
include personal exoskeletons within an existing benefit category
in order to expedite Medicare coverage and payment is an important
validation of the positive impact of exoskeletons, and a message
that innovation matters in Medicare policy decisions.”
The final 2024 Home Health Rule follows the conclusion of a
public comment period, during which numerous comments were
submitted by current exoskeleton users, physicians, and physical
therapists in support of a clear benefit category assignment for
personal exoskeletons to facilitate broader access to the benefits
of these technologies. The 2024 Home Health Rule finalizes a clear
coverage pathway for exoskeletons within the Brace benefit
category, which is reimbursed by Medicare on a lump-sum basis.
