Vertebral Axial Decompression

Aetna considers vertebral axial decompression (including devices such as VAX‑D, Accu‑SPINA, Axiom/DRX2000/DRX3000 and similar systems) experimental and investigational and therefore not covered. Coverage is excluded because effectiveness has not been established, and no clinical criteria or requirements for payment are provided.
