Insurance Filing

We offer insurance filing services for the Alpha-Stim® M when purchased directly from Allevia Health, Inc. Most private insurance plans approve the Alpha-Stim® M when this device is prescribed for some type of chronic pain in the body (below the head). A partial payment of less than 50% of the retail price of the device is typical. Depending on the allowable amount, co-insurance, and out-of-network benefits, the payment may be well below 50% and the approved amount may be applied to the client's deductible. The Alpha-Stim® is always sold out-of-network; there are no in-network distributors (preferred DME providers) for this device at this time.

For diagnoses other than pain below the head, and for the Alpha-Stim® AID, we do not offer insurance filing at this time.

We regret that we are not able to file with Medicare/Medicaid or with private plans associated with Medicare at this time. For the VA or Tricare, or if you have an active motor vehicle accident (MVA) claim, please contact us for more information.

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 (or prescription), and (c) Rent-to-Own form to us at (888) 684-8414 or mail all forms to Allevia Health, Inc. at the address below. We will ship your Alpha-Stim® to you immediately and offer follow-up support.

Please note that any information we receive during pre-authorization of your claim is not binding to the insurance company and the end result may be different from verbal quotes provided by insurance case managers. Under no circumstances can we guarantee a positive claim decision or any particular amount of payment.

STEP 3: It usually takes 30-60 days for an insurance company to fully process a claim for an Alpha-Stim® device. If your insurance claim is approved, the payment we receive 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, thus eleminating those payments. If your insurance company pays the full retail price of your Alpha-Stim®, which is very unlikely unless you have an active motor vehicle claim, then we will refund your rental payments, including the damage deposit, or the purchase amount entirely.

What if my insurance does not cover the Alpha-Stim®?
For most patients the Alpha-Stim® is partly, or entirely, an out-of-pocket expense. Clients with flexible spending accounts (medical FSA, HSA, HRA) may claim the cost of their device and supplies as qualified medical expenses. We also offer different rent-to-own options on all three Alpha-Stim® models to meet your needs (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 and technical support at no charge.
