Updated coverage by Health Alliance Plan in Michigan means that an additional 500,000 lives have access to Paradigm Spine’s coflex® interlaminar stabilization product, a non-fusion motion-preserving implant.
coflex gained FDA premarket approval in late 2012 for the treatment of lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The device can be used with a decompression or instead of fusion, and results are supported by 5-year follow-up studies that demonstrated long-term, sustained therapeutic effects vs. use of fusion to treat LSS.
Earlier coverage for coflex, announced at the end of 3Q17, reportedly represented the first private payor positive coverage policy for a novel, proven treatment for LSS.
