Part (2) The “passive” portion of your erectile rehabilitation program involves the use of the Osbon Erecaid device. At 4 weeks you will begin using your Erecaid device twice a day to passively pump good oxygenated blood into your erectile tissues and holding it there for 5 minutes. This device uses a vacuum mechanism to pull healthy blood into the erectile tissue of your penis helping to stretch out these tissues and keep them healthy. You have been provided with an instructional DVD on the use of this device and will be scheduled to meet with the Osbon ErecAid Clinical Specialist right here at The Urology Team. This specialist will act as your “personal trainer” for this portion of your erection rehabilitation program. The purpose of this consultation is to focus on the correct use of the ErecAid device and maximizing the results of your erectile rehabilitation program. This personal touch service is provided courtesy of the Dr. Fagin in an effort to bring you the greatest opportunity for regaining erectile function and is provided at no cost to you.

Viagra - Dr. Fagin has already given you the additional Viagra you need to make up the difference between what most insurance companies allow and what is required for his erectile rehabilitation program for the first 3 months of the program.

Osbon ErecAid - Generally, there is excellent insurance coverage for the ErecAid system. Medicare and many private insurance companies reimburse for the ErecAid system.

If you have Medicare Part B coverage (non-HMO), Medicare will cover 80% of the allowable amount, set by state, for the ErecAid. You are responsible for the 20% co-pay for DME. You may also be responsible for any deductible not yet met for the year. Additionally, many secondary insurances may reimburse the 20% co-pay directly to you. Timm Medical will take assignment of your Medicare benefit when you purchase a Manual Osbon ErecAid system. The Osbon Clinical Specialist that you meet with will file a claim directly to Medicare on your behalf. You may not file on your own.

Timm Medical does not accept assignment for the Automatic Osbon ErecAid system or if you are covered by a Medicare HMO. If you are purchasing an Automatic system or have a Medicare HMO as your primary coverage, your Osbon Clinical Specialist will file a claim to your insurance carrier on your behalf and they will reimburse you directly for any benefit covered by your plan.

Many private insurers cover a portion of the ErecAid system cost. Timm Medical will file a claim, on your behalf, without taking assignment of your benefit. In this situation, you pay for the device in full and receive reimbursement directly from your insurance company based on your plan’s coverage. We recommend you contact your insurance company to determine the benefits coverage by asking about reimbursement for CPT code L7900 – out of network benefits. Many HMOs may require you to obtain an authorization prior to purchasing the ErecAid and may direct where you may purchase the device.

We realize insurance coverage may be confusing and are here to assist you with any questions you may have. For all questions regarding re-imbursement please contact Osbon Customer Service at 1-800-438-8592 between 7:30 am and 6:00 pm Central Time or the Osbon Reimbursement Department at 1-800-438-2221 between 8:30 a.m – 4:00 pm Central Time.
