Here are three spine devices earning CMS’ New Technology Add-On Payment in 2025.
1. Carlsmed’s aprevo implant earned the nod for use in cervical spine surgeries. Starting Oct. 1, cervical spine procedures done with aprevo will be eligible for additional payment from CMS and private insurers. The NATP will use unique ICD-10-PCS procedure codes to provide up to an additional $21,125 in reimbursement along with the Medicare Severity-Diagnosis Related Groups for qualifying inpatient cases.
2. MiRus’ Europa posterior cervical system also earned NTAP coverage. The system is used for the treatment of the cervical and upper thoracic spine and is built around the company’s 2.9 mm MoRe rod.
3. SI-Bone’s iFuse TORQ TNT Implant System received CMS’ New Technology Add-On Payment for pelvic fracture treatment. The system is the first 3D printed, porous, threaded implant that includes lengths capable of spanning the posterior pelvis. Hospitals can receive up to $4,136 in additional inpatient reimbursement by adopting and using the iFuse system with the new NTAP designation.
