Volara and Medicare

Posted by mdf @mdf, May 12, 2023

I have a friend who has been prescribed the Volara Airway Clearance device. She has been told by the company who manufacturers it that Medicare doesn't cover it, but she was under the assumption that they do based on her conversation with the prescribing doctor. Has anyone on this forum had experience with this Volara device and payment by Medicare? If so, I would appreciate so much any info you may have. Thank you in advance.

The HCPCS codes are: E0481 (Intrapulmonary percussive ventilation system and related accessories), and E1399 (Durable medical equipment, miscellaneous [when specified as a combination continuous positive expiratory pressure (CPEP) and continuous high frequency oscillation (CHFO) device such as the Volara System for oscillation and lung expansion (OLE) therapy]
I hope this helps.
