ReWalk Robotics Ltd. (DBA Lifeward™), (Nasdaq: LFWD)
(“Lifeward” or the “Company”), a global market leader delivering
life-changing solutions to revolutionize what is possible in
rehabilitation, recovery, and the pursuit of life’s passions in the
face of physical limitation or disability, today announced that in
CMS’ February 29th HCPCS decision memorandum the pricing decision
for personal exoskeletons is deferred to obtain more information
about current exoskeleton pricing. CMS accepted that “between the
original 2020 HCPCS application and the present, the previous model
[of the ReWalk Exoskeleton] has been discontinued in favor of the
current model that incorporates additional, clinically significant
functionality,” and the agency is open to gaining more information
about pricing of the current exoskeleton model.
CMS issues these HCPCS decision memorandums twice per year, so
it is anticipated that a pricing decision would be made in the next
cycle, if not earlier. Until pricing is published as part of this
process, the amount paid by the Medicare Administrative Contractors
(MACs) for ReWalk system will continue to be made on a case-by-case
basis as a lump-sum, as per the 2023 finalization of the Medicare
benefit category. As of February 2024, a total of 35 ReWalk
Personal Exoskeleton systems have been delivered to Medicare
beneficiaries and will continue to be processed accordingly.
“We set a goal many years ago to help individuals with spinal
cord injury achieve broader access to technologies which enable
them to walk again. We are disappointed with the delay, but will
continue to operate under the established processing guidelines and
will work diligently with CMS to support pricing considerations for
the outstanding claims for stair-enabled ReWalk Exoskeleton,”
stated Larry Jasinski, CEO at Lifeward. “We ask that CMS move
quickly to establish pricing so that individuals who have pursued
this dream for years are able to experience the benefits of
walking.”
Lifeward remains committed to submitting additional ReWalk
Personal Exoskeleton claims on behalf of Medicare beneficiaries in
2024 and will continue to work with CMS and other stakeholders.
