MARLBOROUGH, Mass. and BERLIN and YOKNEAM ILLIT, Israel, Nov. 30, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ReWalk Robotics, Ltd. (Nasdaq: RWLK) ("ReWalk" or the "Company"), a leading provider of innovative technologies that enable mobility and wellness in rehabilitation and daily life for individuals with neurological conditions, presented at the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (“HCPCS”) public meeting on November 29, 2023 and provided feedback to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (“CMS”) regarding the preliminary payment determination for the code describing the ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton.
“Yesterday’s meeting was an opportunity for us to show our appreciation for the significant progress that CMS has made in providing a pathway for paralyzed individuals to access life-changing exoskeleton technologies,” said Larry Jasinski, CEO of ReWalk. “It was also an opportunity to provide updated pricing information for the current ReWalk Personal Exoskeleton so that CMS can utilize these data in its payment calculations in place of the 2020 data that were used in the preliminary payment determination.”
