Cochleostomy with Neurovascular Transplant for Meniere's Disease

Medicare does not cover cochleostomy with neurovascular transplant for treatment of Meniere's disease because there is no scientific evidence supporting its safety or effectiveness. The policy notes that other surgical procedures (endolymphatic hydrops decompression and labyrinthectomy) are recognized treatments, but cochleostomy with neurovascular transplant is explicitly non-covered.
