When my orthopedic surgeon first discussed getting a bone stim machine, he was hesitant about the insurance coverage and timing. I thought he said something about three to four months. However, I have been communicating via text with a sales(?) rep from the bone stim machine company and I just filled out an agreement form. Since my work insurance officially ends today, she wanted to start the process now to avoid any issues from switching to COBRA insurance.
I guess since the machine is covered by insurance, there is some legitimacy. Does insurance cover questionable therapies? I had some acupuncture sessions covered but I do not think it did anything positive. I did find out that since I have not met my insurance deductible, my copay may be around $500. I saw the same machines on sale for around $6,500 so the therapy plan is not cheap.
God I hope this works.
