Myomo Announces First Insurance Reimbursements in European Markets

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, announced today that its Orthotics and Prosthetics (O&P) distribution partners in Germany and Denmark have successfully obtained their first reimbursement decisions by insurance payers for the MyoPro orthosis. In addition, these O&P providers, along with other certified firms in the UK and Italy, have a growing number of MyoPro units in the reimbursement process.

Jon Naft, Myomo Vice President and General Manager-International, stated “We are pleased that our expanded distribution network is beginning to place orders for the MyoPro braces for their patients and now have a growing number of MyoPro units from international markets in our reimbursement pipeline. Over the past six months, we have recruited and trained O&P clinicians in several EU markets, and like their counterparts in the US, they are hosting patient screening days to evaluate patients, filing the necessary insurance documentation, and obtaining payment approvals to supply the MyoPro to individuals who have been left with paralyzed arms and hands. We look forward to addressing the large medical need in Europe with these partners.” As a result these efforts, O&P providers in these countries now have approximately 20 MyoPro units in the reimbursement process, representing a potential revenue opportunity of more than $500,000.
