Neuronetics Announces Expanded TMS Access through United HealthCare

MALVERN, Pa., April 28, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Neuronetics, Inc. (NASDAQ: STIM), a commercial stage medical technology company focused on designing, developing, and marketing products that improve the quality of life for patients who suffer from neurohealth disorders, today announced that United HealthCare has updated their Medicare Advantage policy in states covered by National Government Services (NGS) Medicare.

This policy expansion increases access for patients to the Company’s NeuroStar® Advanced Therapy for Mental Health by adopting the recently announced NGS Medicare criteria allowing non-physician practitioners (NPPs), like nurse practitioners, to order and administer TMS Therapy to their patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) in states where they have scope of practice to do so.

“It feels as though we’re at a tipping point with both commercial and government payers in their support for mental health coverage, including access to TMS Therapy,” stated Keith J. Sullivan, President, and CEO of Neuronetics Inc. “Our health policy team is unwavering in their efforts and commitment to collaborating with NeuroStar providers and payers, and it’s exciting to see these continuing coverage trends.”

Medicare Advantage Plans, sometimes called “Part C” or “MA Plans,” are offered by private companies approved by Medicare to cover benefits costs for plan participants. United HealthCare Medicare Advantage plans implementing the National Government Services criteria include 434,262 covered lives in CT, MA, ME, MN, NH, NY, RI, and VT.  

Neuronetics previously announced updates to United HealthCare Optum’s commercial policy that expands TMS access for over 23 million covered lives. Neuronetics is the only TMS company in the industry with a dedicated health policy team that partners with both providers and payers to advocate for health policy changes.
