CARMEL, Ind., April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- NeurAxis, Inc. (“NeurAxis” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: NRXS), a medical technology company commercializing neuromodulation therapies for chronic and debilitating conditions in children and adults, today announced four additional health insurers with medical policy coverage for Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Field Stimulation (PENFS), representing approximately 1.25 million covered lives. These medical policies expand incremental access to IB-Stim treatment for beneficiaries in West Virginia, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Virginia, and Florida.
“Momentum in expanding insurance coverage for IB-Stim remains strong as we work to make this therapy more accessible and affordable to patients nationwide through written policy coverage on a national scale with all payers,” said Brian Carrico, CEO of NeurAxis. “Payers across the country are increasingly recognizing the efficacy of IB-Stim due to the Category I CPT code now being effective and our PENFS technology included in leading clinical guidelines. Backed by a solid balance sheet, we are prepared to expand the commercial footprint in parallel to increased payer coverage and capitalize on accelerating demand.”
NeurAxis’ proprietary PENFS technology, IB-Stim, is FDA-cleared for the treatment of functional abdominal pain associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and Functional Dyspepsia, and FD associated nausea symptoms, in patients 8 years and older. IB-Stim is a non-invasive neuromodulation device that gently stimulates cranial nerve bundles in the ear to help regulate pain signaling between the gut and the brain. Currently, no FDA-approved drug therapies exist for pediatric patients with abdominal pain-related disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBIs), a significant unmet medical need. In the absence of approved options, off-label prescription drugs are often used, despite limited efficacy data and potential safety concerns—underscoring IB-Stim’s unique position as the only FDA-cleared therapy specifically designed for this large and underserved pain related patient population.
The Company advises that its audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 19, 2026, contain an audit report of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm that includes an explanatory (emphasis-of-matter) paragraph regarding substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This disclosure is made to satisfy Section 610(b) of the NYSE American Company Guide. This disclosure does not amend, modify, or restate the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, or any other previously filed disclosure.
