Insurance payer policies for subacromial balloon spacer coverage utilize poor quantity and quality of references
Payer coverage policies for subacromial balloon spacer lack sufficient quality and quantity of references. More high-quality literature is needed to support these policies and payers should continually update their policies with this literature. Increasing public access and availability to coverage policies can improve transparency.
