Well, I thought as much.

It turns out, I have already done the research. Electrical Stimulation (ES) has been covered by Medicare (for limited indications) for some time. This is not the same as PEMF, or PSWT, i.e. Actipacth/RecoveryRx.

Back in 2002, CMS decided that Electromagnetic therapy would be covered the same as ES. The restrictions are the same.

will only be covered for chronic Stage III or Stage IV pressure ulcers, arterial ulcers, diabetic ulcers, and venous stasis ulcers. Chronic ulcers are defined as ulcers that have not healed within 30 days of occurrence. ES or electromagnetic therapy will be covered only after appropriate standard wound therapy has been tried for at least 30 days and there are no measurable signs of improved healing

Currently the coverage only applies when the treatment is performed by a doctor, so Actipatch and Recovery RX are not covered as of now,

ES and electromagnetic therapy services can only be covered when performed by a physician, physical therapist, or incident to a physician service. Evaluation of the wound is an integral part of wound therapy. When a physician, physical therapist, or a clinician incident to a physician, performs ES or electromagnetic therapy, the practitioner must evaluate the wound and contact the treating physician if the wound worsens.

Unsupervised use of ES or electromagnetic therapy for wound therapy will not be covered, as this use has not been found to be medically reasonable and necessary.
