Is Sprint PNS covered by insurance?

Answered by Jason Smith

Many insurance companies do cover the SPRINT PNS (peripheral nerve stimulation) system. This innovative technology has been proven to provide effective pain relief for patients suffering from chronic pain conditions. However, it is important to note that insurance coverage can vary depending on the specific policy and insurance provider.

To help patients navigate the insurance coverage process, SPRcare™, a Patient Access Program for the SPRINT PNS System, is available to provide support. This program aims to assist patients and their physicians’ staff in obtaining coverage from insurance companies.

When seeking insurance coverage for SPRINT PNS, it is essential to work closely with your physician and their staff. They can help gather the necessary documentation and submit a claim to your insurance company. The more specific and detailed the documentation, the better chances of getting coverage.

In some cases, insurance companies may require a prior authorization process before approving coverage for the SPRINT PNS system. This means that your physician will need to provide clinical documentation and reasoning to demonstrate the medical necessity of the treatment. The SPRcare™ program can assist in this process by providing resources and support to help streamline the prior authorization process.

It is important to note that insurance coverage can vary widely, and while many insurance companies cover the SPRINT PNS system, some may have specific criteria or limitations. Some insurance plans may require a trial period of other conservative treatments before approving coverage for SPRINT PNS. Your physician and their staff can work with you to determine the specific requirements of your insurance plan.

In addition to insurance coverage, it is also important to consider any potential out-of-pocket costs associated with the SPRINT PNS system. Deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance may apply, so it is important to review your insurance policy and discuss any potential costs with your physician and insurance provider.

Personal experiences and situations can vary when it comes to insurance coverage for the SPRINT PNS system. It is always recommended to have open and transparent communication with your healthcare provider and insurance company to fully understand your coverage options and any potential costs involved.

While many insurance companies cover the SPRINT PNS system, it is important to work closely with your physician and their staff to navigate the insurance coverage process. The SPRcare™ program can provide support in obtaining coverage from insurance companies and streamlining the prior authorization process. It is also crucial to review your insurance policy to understand any potential out-of-pocket costs associated with the SPRINT PNS system.
