Transoral incisionless fundoplication (TIF) (ie, EsophyX®) is considered MEDICALLY NECESSARY as a treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease when other conservative measures that have been tried in failed including:
- You have a history of GERD with Daily Symptoms
- You have tried and failed optimal non-surgical management of symptoms, including lifestyle modification, weight loss (if indicated), and daily proton pump inhibitor use for ≥ 6 months
With millions of Americans diagnosed with GERD and not fully satisfied with their treatment options, the TIF procedure offers an alternative that is covered by many insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shied of Massachusetts.
