Summary
This is a routine policy review with no changes - Neural Therapy remains considered investigational for all indications and is not covered. The policy clarifies that neural therapy involves injecting local anesthetics into various tissues to treat chronic pain and other conditions, but lacks sufficient scientific evidence for coverage.
Action Required
No immediate action required. Continue to deny coverage for neural therapy procedures as investigational. If providers submit claims for neural therapy, use appropriate denial codes indicating the service is investigational/not medically necessary.
