Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts and
Paradigm together serve 3 million covered lives
Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the
“Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers
increased functionality for those suffering from neurological
disorders and upper-limb paralysis, announces it has entered into
the first contracts that will allow MyoPro to be provided to
patients covered by private insurance on an in-network basis.
These new contracts are with Blue Cross Blue Shield of
Massachusetts, a leading commercial and Medicare Advantage insurer,
and Paradigm, a leading specialty care management organization
serving workers' compensation and healthcare payers. Paradigm’s
contract represents its commitment to assessing and evaluating
appropriateness of medical innovations like the MyoPro for injured
workers. Together, these organizations cover approximately 3
million lives.
“Entry into these first in-network payer contracts represents a
key milestone for Myomo and an expansion of coverage for patients
suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis,”
said Harry Kovelman, M.D., Myomo’s chief medical officer. “We are
continuing our outreach to other private payers and I’m encouraged
by the reception we’ve received to date. With coverage for the
MyoPro now provided by Medicare Part B, and commercial insurers and
specialty care management organizations starting to enter into
contracts with us, we believe the MyoPro is on its way toward
becoming the standard of care for those suffering with permanent
upper extremity impairment who want to regain their ability to
perform activities of daily living.”
