Myomo, Inc. (NYSE American: MYO) (“Myomo” or the “Company”), a wearable medical robotics company that offers increased functionality for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis, announces it has entered into the first contracts that will allow MyoPro to be provided to patients covered by private insurance on an in-network basis.

These new contracts are with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts, a leading commercial and Medicare Advantage insurer, and Paradigm, a leading specialty care management organization serving workers' compensation and healthcare payers. Paradigm’s contract represents its commitment to assessing and evaluating appropriateness of medical innovations like the MyoPro for injured workers. Together, these organizations cover approximately 3 million lives.

“Entry into these first in-network payer contracts represents a key milestone for Myomo and an expansion of coverage for patients suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis,” said Harry Kovelman, M.D., Myomo’s chief medical officer. “We are continuing our outreach to other private payers and I’m encouraged by the reception we’ve received to date. With coverage for the MyoPro now provided by Medicare Part B, and commercial insurers and specialty care management organizations starting to enter into contracts with us, we believe the MyoPro is on its way toward becoming the standard of care for those suffering with permanent upper extremity impairment who want to regain their ability to perform activities of daily living.”
