ReWalk Robotics, Marlborough, Massachusetts, and Yokneam Ilit, Israel, announced that Cigna Corporation, a private health insurance company, has revised its policy regarding coverage of exoskeleton medical devices for individuals with spinal cord injury. Cigna, which has had a non-coverage policy, will now review submissions from beneficiaries on a case-by-case basis to consider providing coverage based on medical criteria. The policy revision is the first of its kind by a major private insurer for individuals eligible to use exoskeleton devices.
