Information for Payers
Tactile Systems Technology recognizes that third-party payers must make complex coverage decisions on behalf of their members on a daily basis. To facilitate that process, we are committed to providing accurate data and practical education for evaluation of each member’s treatment needs.
About the Flexitouch System
The Flexitouch system consists of a programmable, segmented pneumatic device with calibrated gradient pressure (HCPCS code: E0652) and corresponding multi-chamber garments for treatment of both the limb and trunk. The Flexitouch system offers all the benefits of a standard pneumatic compression device and provides additional features designed to address specific clinical needs of lymphedema patients.
- The Flexitouch system’s chest and trunk garments provide programmable, calibrated, sequential pressure to treat chest, back and trunk edema and maintain reductions in volume. Importance of Treating Truncal and Chest Lymphedema [PDF]
- Dynamic calibrated pressure moves lymph fluid using gentle stretch-and-release motion which can be easily tolerated by sensitive skin or painful areas.
- The Flexitouch system pneumatic controller offers programmability to intensively address fibrotic areas without retreating the entire limb.
