Home Traction Therapy – Commercial and Individual Exchange Medical Policyopen_in_new

UnitedHealthcare deems home traction therapy unproven and not medically necessary (therefore not covered) for low back and neck disorders with or without radiculopathy due to insufficient/conflicting evidence. No specific documentation requirements are stated; coverage must follow the member-specific benefit plan and any applicable federal or state mandates (listing of codes in the policy does not imply coverage).
