Orthofix Gets Relief After CMS Reimbursement Update
Orthofix Medical Inc. (OFIX) jumped more than 16% following an update from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) regarding reimbursement policies for non-invasive bone growth stimulators.
Orthofix is a global medical technology company focused on developing solutions for bone healing, spinal care, and mobility restoration for patients with musculoskeletal conditions.
In April 2026, the FDA reclassified non-invasive bone growth stimulators from Class III to Class II devices, leading CMS to revise billing requirements and Medicare reimbursement policies for these devices effective May 18, 2026. The reimbursement changes reduced the average Medicare payments for certain codes by approximately 10%, prompting the company to lower its 2026 financial outlook then.
However, now that CMS has withdrawn those changes, Orthofix expects Medicare reimbursement rates for its non-invasive bone growth stimulators to return to pre-May 18, 2026, levels.
OFIX closed Monday's trading at $11.57, up 16.40%.
Enovis Also Gets a Boost from CMS Reimbursement Reversal
Enovis Corp. (ENOV) jumped more than 15% on Monday on news of the CMS reversing the previous reimbursement changes for non-invasive bone growth stimulators.
The company's Prevention & Recovery segment includes bone growth stimulators as part of its product portfolio.
ENOV closed Monday's trading at $25.90, up 15.11%.
