Q: Will Medicare pay for VAX-D treatments? A: No. Medicare has not paid for VAX-D treatments since Medicare issued a statement in 1997 stating the treatment was not reimbursable because it was experimental. In 2005, Medicare issued another statement that they would not pay for any spinal decompression treatments for any manufacturers because it is experimental. However, the FDA determined VAX-D was not experimental and issued a 510K clearance for safety and effectiveness of VAX-D equipment in 1996. In addition, over ten research articles and studies on VAX-D have been published since 1997 in peer reviewed, respected medical journals validating it as an effective non-surgical option for back pain. It is time for Medicare to reevaluate their status. Q: Will insurance pay for VAX-D treatments? A: Some may. Some may not. Check with your provider prior to treatment. Q: Can patients lie on their backs?
