IB-Stim
CARMEL, Ind., Jan. 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeurAxis, Inc. (“NeurAxis,” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation therapies addressing chronic and debilitating conditions in children and adults, today announced medical policy coverage for Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS), with Molina Healthcare. Molina, with over 40 years in operation, has approximately 5.1 million members across 13 states. NeurAxis’ PENFS technology, IB-Stim, is FDA-cleared for functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) in adolescents 8-21 years old. IB-Stim is a non-surgical device that sends gentle electrical impulses into cranial nerve bundles in the ear. There are currently no FDA-approved drug therapies for children with abdominal pain-related disorders of the gut-brain interaction. Off label pharmacologic treatments can often have serious side effects, and most lack scientific evidence of efficacy. Brian Carrico, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeurAxis commented, “We are thrilled about our coverage with Molina, which marks our initial expansion into the states of MI, IL, NY, TX, and others. This milestone underscores the impact of our strong body of published research, which continues to drive broader insurance coverage for IB-Stim. As highlighted in my recent Letter to Shareholders, we've significantly increased our insurance coverage to 51 million lives—a remarkable leap from just 4 million a year ago. Additionally, our recently achieved CPT I code, and the expanded age range from 11–18 years to 8–21 years will allow us to provide care for the approximately 600,000 individuals suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.” About NeurAxis, Inc. NeurAxis, Inc., is a medical technology company focused on neuromodulation therapies to address chronic and debilitating conditions in children and adults. NeurAxis is dedicated to advancing science and leveraging evidence-based medicine to drive the adoption of its IB-Stim™ therapy, which is its proprietary Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS) technology, by the medical, scientific, and patient communities.

Additional clinical trials of PENFS in multiple pediatric and adult conditions with large unmet healthcare needs are underway. For more information, please visit http://neuraxis.com.
