?? ?? It's official!!!
Starting in January, Medicare will reimburse for FDA authorized Digital Mental Health Treatment (DMHT), often known as "apps" or digital therapeutics. For years, the question of "who pays?" has been a hurdle in providers' adoption of digital health. This decision marks significant progress in digital mental health, laying the foundation for future reimbursement across other therapeutic areas.
At #Xealth, we've spent the last seven years empowering providers in the adoption of digital health: helping clinicians identify the right tools, enroll patients, and seamlessly bring data back into the EHR. Our Digital Care Platform is ready to support the DMHT manufacturers and our provider customers, easing the adoption of these important resources - all toward the ultimate goal of connecting patients with the care they need. We're thrilled to see our partner, Big Health, included in the approved list! We expect to launch all 7 of these FDA-approved DMHTs across our 30+ providers, scaling mental health solutions for our Medicare patient populations.
A huge shoutout to the Digital Therapeutics Alliance, Consumer Technology Association, and all the organizations who championed this advancement.
?? The 2025 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule Final Rule is here! DTA is excited to see that CMS has finalized the codes for Digital Mental Health Treatment (DMHT) devices.
?? This is a tremendous benefit for patients to receive access to these life changing technologies and a milestone for the DTx industry who has invested in clinical and real world evidence.
