Ultrasound Osteogenesis Stimulator

Policy ID: E-35-025

Section: Durable Medical Equipment

Effective Date: July 01, 2018

Revised Date: November 15, 2024

Revision Effective Date: January 06, 2025

Last Reviewed: November 19, 2024

Applies To: Commercial and Medicaid Expansion

Description

An ultrasonic osteogenesis stimulator is a noninvasive device that emits low intensity, pulsed ultrasound. The ultrasound signal is applied to the skin surface at the fracture location via ultrasound conductive coupling gel to stimulate fracture healing.

Policy Application

All claims submitted under this policy's section will be processed according to the policy effective date and associated revision effective dates in effect on the date of service.

Criteria

An ultrasonic osteogenesis stimulator may be considered medically necessary when ALL of the following criteria are met:

Nonunion of a fracture (at least three (3) months have passed since the date of the fracture); and
The fracture is not of the skull or vertebrae; and
Serial radiographs have confirmed that no progressive signs of healing have occurred; and
The fracture gap is one (1) cm or less; and
The individual can be adequately immobilized and is able to maintain a non-weight bearing status.

Fresh Closed Fractures

Low-intensity ultrasound accelerated fracture healing systems may be considered medically necessary as an adjunct to conventional management (i.e., closed reduction and cast immobilization) for the treatment of fresh newly diagnosed or recent fractures (up to fourteen (14) days after the fracture occurs), or closed fractures of a skeletally mature individual.

An individual who has been determined to be at high risk for delayed fracture healing or nonunion fractures, includes at least ONE of the following indications:

Comorbidity:
- Diagnosis of alcoholism; or
- Current tobacco use; or
- Diagnosis of diabetes; or
- Current use of prescribed steroid; or
- Diagnosis of osteoporosis; or
- Diagnosis of renal disease; or
- Current use of prescribed anticoagulation medications.
Location of fracture:

- Fracture of metatarsal, including Jones fracture (5th metatarsal); or
- Navicular bone fracture of the wrist (also known as the scaphoid); or
- Fractures associated with extensive soft tissue or vascular damage.

Procedure Codes

20979

E0760

Osteogenesis stimulators not meeting the criteria as indicated in this policy are considered not medically necessary. This includes, but is not limited to treatment of ANY of the following:

As an adjunct to (i.e., at the time of or immediately after) bunionectomy procedures (When such surgery results in nonunion the medically necessary criteria above may apply); or
As an adjunct to (i.e., at the time of or immediately after) distraction osteogenesis procedures for any indication (e.g., limb lengthening, nonunion, or tibial defects); or
Axial skeleton fractures, including the skull and vertebrae; or
Congenital pseudoarthrosis; or
Delayed fracture unions without a comorbidity; or
Fresh fractures that are Open Grade II or III, or require surgical intervention (with or without internal fixation), or are otherwise too unstable for closed reduction/; or
Patellar tendinopathy; or
Pathological fractures due to bone pathology or tumor/malignancy; or
Stress fractures; or
Used with other noninvasive osteogenesis stimulators.

Procedure Codes

20979

E0760

An ultrasonic osteogenesis stimulator will be denied as not medically necessary if it is used with other noninvasive osteogenesis stimulators.
