About this policy
CMS NCA document | source_status=Closed | review_type=New | public_comment_open=False | document_id=CAG-00387N
Coverage indications
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has concluded that the evidence does not demonstrate that thermal intradiscal procedures improve health outcomes. Thus, CMS has determined that TIPS are not reasonable and necessary for the treatment of low back pain. Therefore, CMS is issuing a national noncoverage determination for TIPs under §1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act.
