Biofeedback for Miscellaneous Indications

This policy addresses use of biofeedback interventions and devices that measure and provide physiologic feedback (e.g., heart rate variability, muscle tension, skin temperature, blood flow) for a range of miscellaneous indications — examples include orthostatic hypotension after spinal cord injury, pain management during labor, PTSD, prevention of preterm birth, Raynaud disease, sleep bruxism, anxiety disorders, headaches, hypertension, movement disorders, asthma and urinary incontinence. Major limitations: many listed indications are considered experimental or investigational due to insufficient high‑quality RCT evidence, the document provides no specific coverage criteria, and coverage/exclusions are determined by the member’s benefit plan/contract (with HCSC‑specific policies and state regulations superseding where applicable).
