The payer adopted Carleon’s Clinical Appropriateness Guidelines for musculoskeletal and spine surgery which cover Centinel Spine’s Prodisc L lumbar disc replacement implant, the medtech company said in a Nov. 14 news release.
Prodisc L is the only total disc replacement device approved by the FDA for two-level lumbar disc replacement.
The new payer update went into effect in August. In September a commercial payer in Michigan added one- and two-level disc replacement coverage, and in October a commercial payer in North Carolina followed suit.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
