Sorry for long delay in getting to you. Hope your daughter is better now but if not let me know. Best way to get to me is by email at bobjohnson@medfaxxinc.com . We;ve had success with interferential on RSD much more so than with tens. Have put up some new videos on web site since your post in May. don’t remember if specifically to RSD but do know specific to chronic pain transmission which doesn’t differentiate much as to causation.

Thanks.

Basically “benefits” are governed by contract law which is nothing more than the insurance company saying “you give me $x’s per month and in exchange I agree to do Y”. Often “Y” as far as this transaction is, means for your dollars we will cover your “dme costs”, Durable Medical Equipment – ie. examples of dme are wheelchairs, potty seats. crutches, tens units, hospital beds. I agree that sometimes many obstacles will be used to prevent the fulfillment of the legal contractual obligations and that is where our staff intervenes and advocates.

Sometimes there will be a clause which says “must buy from participating provider……..” but for our Infrex unit there is only one provider at all so that clause is not relevant.

Now practically speaking on our end the patient gets a free 30 day trial, if we get a prescription from licensed M.D., and that is when determine if insurance will pay any, all, part, or apply % to deductible. We don’t really worry about the insurance until after it is determined by the patient the Infrex unit is helping and wants to buy. Prior to that it’s a moot point since why buy anything if doesn’t help?

Is your chiro using a small hand held unit or is it putting electrodes on you and a much larger table top unit being used? Reason I ask is the larger units generally are not tens units but are interferential units. Interferential therapy (IF) difference is the “carryover pain relief” lasts longer than any tens unit as a general rule. We do have tens in the Infrex but honestly hardly anyone uses it.

Hope this helps and if need more info. or have questions then yell. You can type “video” into our “search” on website and see some videos that may help. At some point I need to do a video exactly on what you are asking so folks will have good information to help.

Thanks and hope this helps.

I just wanted to chime in on this. I came across it quite by accident I think. But in my travels around the internet looking for relief I have come across your ads from time to time, and I even took the time about 3 months ago or so to take a look at your site up close. Like this person, I am very skeptical about things I buy on the internet. I have looked at a lot of tens units from other companies as well as yours.
I have been considering trying a tens unit. My chiropractor uses one on my back when things get real bad, and it seems to help, but as with anything else it is short lived (I guess I am hoping someday for the absolute cure) But I know that everything, at this point is temporary.

My problem with getting the unit is that it is just a bit pricy. I read about the UHC coverage for the unit for DA. Unfortunately I don’t qualify for Medicare or Medicaid, and it’s very hard to get any answers out of our local human resources person in regards to our company sponsored BCBS plan. Do you know under what conditions that BCBS will cover the cost of your unit?

I am somewhat shocked that UHC actually covered the unit. We had UHC coverage a couple of years back, and it was terrible, they denied so much that we are now struggling with a large amount of debt from medical bills they did not cover, which to our understanding should have been. Thus my concern about the units cost and the coverage. If you could post some of that information here, it might be a help to others as well as myself.
