Does insurance cover the cost of a TENS device?
Insured TENS machines are in the Medical Equipment/Distribution Devices category, and most insurance companies generally pay 100%, with no deductible. Ask your insurance company whether it covers a TENS machine and what kind of coverage you are entitled to.
If you are going through an insurance company, you have no choice about which TENS unit you get, and you may get one with out-of-date technology. In most cases, this is simply because you are unaware your insurance will cover therapeutic products—this is true for TENS machines.
Coverage Options
Insurance may cover the cost of TENS units when treatment is medically necessary. Tens units are not commonly covered by insurance, but policies vary from company to company. Unlike over-the-counter devices, which are priced on a competitive basis, medical devices providers charge higher prices for TENS units in order to cover the administrative costs of insurance claims as well as generate profits.
