HOW TO GET YOUR OWN MYOCYCLE AT HOME

At MYOLYN, our goal is to make the benefits of FES therapy accessible to everyone that needs them, and we recognize that not everyone has the resources to purchase a MyoCycle out of pocket. That’s why we work with dozens of funding sources and help assist you in securing the funding you need to get a MyoCycle. The list below is a comprehensive list of sources for helping you get an FES bike. It’s our hope that these financial options will enable anyone who needs a MyoCycle to get one, empowering them to take control of their health, no matter their situation.

Over $375K in Alternative Funding Secured

MYOLYN has helped dozens of MyoCycle Home users achieve over $375K in funding. Are you interested in the MyoCycle? Request more information, and a member of our team can help you navigate your FES Bike Funding Options!
Get in touch today!

As you review the below funding resources, keep in mind that you can combine several different types of resources at the same time.  For example, if you finance or pay for your MyoCycle out of pocket, you can still apply to grants, do fundraising, and/or try for insurance coverage, (if available with your plan), and if those avenues are successful, you will receive a reimbursement for the amount they pay. You can also combine several grant requests.  The benefit of doing a multi-layer approach is to find a way to get your MyoCycle as quickly as possible so you can start experiencing all the great therapeutic benefits.

FINANCING

Financing options allow people to purchase a MyoCycle and pay it off over time. The simplest financing option is a credit card and many people have been able to take advantage of the zero percent interest credit cards that are available.  There are also dedicated financing options for people with disabilities who need medical equipment like the MyoCycle, called assistive technology loans. Assistive technology loans are low-interest loans provided by state and national programs for individuals with disabilities to purchase assistive technology like the MyoCycle. You can find a list of available assistive technology loan programs below.

FUNDRAISING

The Help Hope Live Catastrophic Injury Campaign helps people who have had a catastrophic injury, such as a spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury, raise funds to cover unmet health needs, including rehab, home health, medical, accessibility, and automotive needs.

GoFundMe Medical Fundrasing is a crowdfunding platform with many successful campaigns of fundraising for medical expenses and other causes. Example campaigns: JoshLoganEd

INSURANCE

The MyoCycle may be covered by insurance companies on a case-by-case basis. Your payer, your plan, and even your medical history all affects the coverage decision. Not all insurance companies will allow submission for equipment like the MyoCycle, but if yours does, there are two paths towards coverage of the MyoCycle: prior authorization and direct reimbursement.

Prior authorization means we ask your insurance company if the MyoCycle will be covered before you get it. Because prior authorization and subsequent billing can take up to 1 year to complete, many customers choose to purchase their MyoCycle upfront, out-of-pocket (using any funding method), so they can use it during that time instead of waiting. Customers who purchase out-of-pocket can go straight to the direct reimbursement path and if successful, will receive reimbursement for the amount insurance pays.

MYOLYN has partnered with multiple VA Hospitals across the country to bring the MyoCycle into the homes of numerous veterans.  We are happy to work with you and your VA to see if the MyoCycle will be covered under your current VA benefit plan. To qualify for this program, you need to receive your medical care from a Veteran’s Medical facility.

We have a 99% success rate with various worker’s compensation plans across the US.  The Workers Comp team will work with you and your worker’s compensation case management team to obtain coverage of the MyoCycle through your benefit plan.
