Genicular Artery Embolization (GAE)

Date: Jan 26, 2022

Question:

Is genicular artery embolization covered by Medicare for osteoarthritis - related knee pain, inflammation? While I was trying to find reimbursement information I see there is an Interventional Clinical Trial - G190316-NCT04379700. It is a Category B. The study start date is 12/01/2020, and estimated study completion date is June 2023. Could you please explain when this procedure would be considered for reimbursement by Medicare?
