Filing How
to file an insurance claim for your Alpha-Stim® device
We
offer insurance filing services for all models of Alpha-Stim® devices
purchased directly from Allevia Health, Inc. Most private insurance
plans cover the Alpha-Stim® 100 and Alpha-Stim® PPM,
and make a partial payment, when these models are prescribed
for some type of chronic
pain in the body. For other diagnoses, and for the Alpha-Stim® SCS,
a lower but significant percentage of claims are approved,
often with a partial payment made.
To
initiate a claim: STEP
1: Please contact us to
request our Insurance Claim Processing Patient Information
Form.
STEP
2:
FAX
(a) this claim form, (b) your Statement
of Medical Necessity, and
(c) Rent-to-Own form to us at (888)
684-8414 or mail to Allevia Health,
Inc. at the address below. Given that it
may take up to 60 days to fully process
a claim for an Alpha-Stim®, we suggest that you
start with our rent-to-own plan (or call 800-684-9343
to purchase) while your
claim is pending, and
we
will ship your Alpha-Stim® to you immediately by UPS.

STEP
3: If
your insurance claim is approved, the
payment received from your insurance company will
be applied to the
purchase
of
your Alpha-Stim®, or to the latter payments on your
rent-to-own plan. If your claim is paid in full,
then we will refund your overpayment.
Please
note that while we can seek pre-approval for you and we can
inquire about what your benefits
cover, the
information we receive from the insurance company is
often not complete and not binding to them. Often patients
do
not know how
much their insurance will cover until the claim has
been filed. If
you would prefer to file yourself for reimbursement from your
insurance company, you may do so and we have
billing codes and other information to help. (Call
or e-mail us to request.).
What if my insurance does not cover the Alpha-Stim®?
For
some patients the Alpha-Stim® is an out-of-pocket expense.
For this reason we offer different rent-to-own options
on all three Alpha-Stim® models
to meet your needs. With our rental plans you may rent a new
Alpha-Stim® device for as little as $82.50-$100/month
(see the rental contract for details). You may return your rental
unit at any time,
with
no
further
payments due, or if you continue
renting, you
will ultimately own your device at the end of the rental
period. Please keep in mind that even if you pay for your Alpha-Stim® out-of-pocket,
given its efficacy and safety, this technology is one of the
most cost effective treatment options available for the treatment
of anxiety,
depression,
insomnia
and
pain. It also comes with five year warranty.
