CMS Finalizes Renal Denervation Coverage

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has issued its final National Coverage Determination (NCD) on renal denervation (RDN), benefiting Medtronic and Recor Medical.

Both companies develop RDN systems, with Recor Medical receiving FDA approval for its Paradise ultrasound RDN system in November 2023, followed by Medtronic's approval for the Symplicity Spyral system.

The companies have ongoing patent litigation related to their RDN systems.

In July, both companies welcomed CMS' planned coverage for their technologies when it proposed the NCD for uncontrolled hypertension, anticipating a decision by October.
