Axena Health Receives Positive Insurance Coverage Decision From Cigna Healthcare for Leva Pelvic Health System
Summary
Cignas coverage policy update then states, a newer at-home biofeedback device and remotely delivered program called Leva\xae Pelvic Health System was developed to mitigate some of these issues. Cignas decision affirms that the Leva System should be considered first-line therapy for women with UI, and we applaud them.UI is a progressive medical condition that can have a severe impact on a womans quality of life and is associated with significant negative comorbidities. Combining a small FDA-cleared vaginal motion sensor connected to a smartphone app, the Leva System offers precise visualization of pelvic movement in real-time, enables progress tracking and allows active physician involvement, all of which support womens success. Recognizing that level-one evidence shows pelvic floor muscle training is most effective when performed under the supervision of a skilled healthcare provider, the Leva System is available by prescription only, allowing physicians the opportunity to treat UI and chronic FI on a broad scale and with continued involvement in patient success. Axena Healths technology enables non-invasive, drug-free treatment via precise visualization of movement in real time during pelvic floor muscle training, while monitoring usage and progress.
