Pulsed Radiofrequency

Aetna considers pulsed radiofrequency experimental and investigational for all indications (including abdominal cutaneous nerve entrapment, carpal tunnel, cervical radicular pain, chronic hip pain) and therefore not covered. Specific modalities/devices (e.g., Stimpod NMS460, wearable PRF for post‑amputation pain) are likewise excluded, there are no specific CPT/HCPCS codes identified, and the policy lists numerous example ICD‑10 diagnoses as noncovered because effectiveness has not been established.
