SoftWave therapy is not covered by Medicare, Medicaid, or insurance at this time. Shockwave therapy is widely used as a non-invasive treatment option in multiple medical specialties. While its therapeutic benefits are recognized in clinical settings, providers are still wondering if insurance reimburses shockwave therapy. The short answer is that it depends.
While some procedures are reimbursed under specific codes and circumstances, others are reviewed on a case-by-case basis based on the payer and medical need. Understanding how reimbursements work helps providers expand access to care while maintaining clinic operations and maximizing return on technology investments. While SofWave is a cost-effective treatment option, insurance doesn't cover it. Please contact our office directly for more information and to learn about payment options.
We have tried to present ourselves to several health insurance companies on behalf of patients with constant denial. We have also spoken on the phone with representatives of insurance companies. SoftWave therapy is NOT covered by insurance. There are some conditions that the software can treat and that are covered by the insurance.
For example, plantar fasciitis and painful wounds are conditions for which soft wave therapy is covered by insurance. However, all other conditions that can be treated with soft wave therapy are offered at Hyper Healing for a fee of its own. Medicare Part B, which covers outpatient services, often covers SofWave therapy when considered medically necessary. While SofWave therapy is a specialized treatment, it's important to consider the long-term benefits and potential savings associated with improving health and reducing dependency in other ways of pain treatment.
By addressing symptoms and the root cause of ailments, Softwave therapy offers lasting relief for a variety of health conditions. One of the major obstacles is that many insurance providers still don't recognize SofWave therapy as a standard treatment option. Because SofWave therapy is relatively new in the treatment landscape, insurance providers are increasingly recognizing it. In conclusion, while the path for insurance to cover SofWave therapy may be a bit bumpy, it's not impossible.
However, as SofWave Therapy becomes more widely recognized, this could change and more insurers will cover this service. The cost of SofWave therapy can vary depending on several factors, such as the location, the number of treatment sessions required, and the specific condition being treated. Many patients experience significant pain relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of life after undergoing SofWave therapy. Soft wave therapy works by administering acoustic shock waves that mobilize stem cells, decrease edema and increase new blood vessels to improve flow to the injured area.
By promoting tissue regeneration and reducing inflammation, SofWave therapy can alleviate pain, improve joint function and improve the overall quality of life for arthritis patients. Even when insurance offers some coverage, the high cost of Softwave therapy can result in significant out-of-pocket costs for patients.
