HCFA approves biofeedback pay
The Health Care Financing Administration has announced it will cover biofeedback treatments for Medicare beneficiaries with urinary incontinence.
According to an Oct. 6 coverage decision memorandum, biofeedback therapy is for the treatment of stress and urge incontinence in patients who fail to benefit from or are unable to perform pelvic muscle exercises.
"HCFA's decision is an important victory for physical therapists and their patients with urinary incontinence," says American Physical Therapy Association President Ben Massey.
The coverage decision memorandum is available at www.hcfa.gov/quality/8b3-x.htm.
