Medovex Receives Reimbursement for Its DenerveX Facet Joint Syndrome Treatment in Germany


ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwired - Feb 4, 2016) - Medovex Corp. (NASDAQ: MDVX), a developer of medical technology products, today announced that the reimbursement authority in Germany has released new reimbursement payment coding for the DenerveX™ System technology for the treatment of the Facet Joint Syndrome.

The new reimbursement coding, effective immediately, was released in the Diagnosis-Related Group (DRG) system in 2016 in Germany. This new coding allows for hospitals and outpatient centers to receive reimbursement for the use of the DenerveX System for the treatment of the Facet Joint Syndrome in the spine.

According to Patrick Kullmann, President and COO of Medovex, "The new reimbursement code in Germany is a significant milestone in our European launch preparation for the DenerveX System. Germany is often recognized as a leader in early clinical adoption of new and cost effective technologies, being on the forefront of establishing reimbursement guidelines, and with other countries often following its lead. Reimbursement is perhaps the most foundational element supporting adoption for a medical technology. It's for this reason, amongst others, that we are very pleased to have successfully secured the codes issuance."

"We are encouraged that Germany now provides reimbursement for DenerveX System," said Manfred Sablowski, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing of Medovex. "The World Health Organization ranks Germany as one of the top healthcare systems globally, based upon measurements of the overall level and distribution of health, responsiveness, and financial contribution to healthcare services."

The Company's patented DenerveX System, currently in final development and not yet commercially available, is designed to provide longer lasting relief of pain associated with the facet joint. Lower back pain is the second most common cause of disability in the U.S. for adults. Studies indicate that 10% of the U.S. adult population suffers from lower back pain and that 31% of lower back pain is attributed to facet joint pain.

The DenerveX System consists of the DenerveX device, a single use device, and the DenerveX Pro-40 Power Generator. The DenerveX system is designed to provide a minimally invasive treatment option which combines two actions into one device.

DenerveX is not yet CE marked or FDA cleared and is not yet commercially available.
