Medicare May Stop Covering Vacuum Erection Devices for ED
Erectile dysfunction (ED) - a man's inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sex - can be treated in several ways. One is the vacuum erection device (VED), which uses a vacuum-inducing pump to create an erection.
For some older American men, VEDs are a viable alternative to ED medications, which are not covered by Medicare.
However, on December 3rd, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill that, among other measures, would prohibit Medicare coverage of VEDs. (Learn more about this bill here.) The bill still needs to be reviewed by the Senate.
