Casting, boots, and non-weight-bearing after surgery or fracture. You already run DME workflows for bone stimulators.
For licensed healthcare providers
FDA-cleared NMES for disuse muscle atrophy (E0745). Most practices use drop-ship: you sign the Rx, DynaPulse delivers to the patient and handles billing.

Who it's for
When a limb is casted, booted, or kept off weight, the muscle pays for it. These teams document that loss every week.
Casting, boots, and non-weight-bearing after surgery or fracture. You already run DME workflows for bone stimulators.
Atrophy builds during immobilization, before PT starts. NMES is an adjunct to rehabilitation, not a substitute.
Deconditioning and disuse after injury or hospitalization, with an intact motor nerve.
Muscle rehabilitation only: patients with documented disuse atrophy and an intact motor nerve.
Offloading and inactivity can lead to disuse atrophy. Sensory neuropathy with preserved motor function does not disqualify a patient.
Available on the Federal Supply Schedule through an SDVOSB contractor.

What the chart needs
Medicare may cover VEINOPLUS® (E0745) for disuse muscle atrophy when NCD 160.12 criteria are met and documented. Coverage is determined by each payer.
Record a measured girth or strength deficit.
Document that the motor nerve can fire.
State the cause, with dates.
Explain why NMES is reasonable and necessary, and include a reassessment plan.

General NMES evidence. These studies did not use VEINOPLUS® and mostly assessed the quadriceps, not the calf.
Seven men in a long-leg cast for 6 weeks used electrical stimulation; 14 similar patients did not. Quadriceps cross-sectional area fell a mean 17% without stimulation and was similar between legs with it.
Gibson JN, Smith K, Rennie MJ. Lancet. 1988;2(8614):767–770. doi:10.1016/s0140-6736(88)92417-8
Twenty-four healthy young men, 5 days of one-leg immobilization. Twice-daily NMES prevented measurable quadriceps loss. It did not preserve strength.
Dirks ML, et al. Acta Physiol (Oxf). 2014;210(3):628–641. doi:10.1111/apha.12200
NMES can augment muscle protein synthesis and prevent or attenuate muscle loss during short-term disuse in various clinical populations.
Dirks ML, Wall BT, van Loon LJC. J Appl Physiol. 2018;125(3):850–861. doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00985.2016
Systematic review and meta-analysis, 9 RCTs, 691 patients. NMES improved quadriceps strength; the authors note many outcomes did not reach minimal clinically important difference.

Clinical Science
These findings support FDA-cleared indications. They are not Medicare coverage criteria for E0745.
Not a substitute for guideline-directed VTE prophylaxis.
73 adults with lower-extremity PAD. Three months of home calf NMES vs. usual care: between-group difference in maximal treadmill walking distance +69.9 m (P=0.02). The manufacturer of VEINOPLUS® supplied the stimulators and provided financial support.
Le Faucheur A, et al. Eur J Prev Cardiol. 2026. doi:10.1093/eurjpc/zwag080
15 adults with stable claudication. Calf stimulation with VEINOPLUS® increased femoral arterial inflow in the stimulated limb vs. the non-stimulated limb.
Abraham P, et al. J Vasc Surg. 2013;57(3):714–719. doi:10.1016/j.jvs.2012.08.117
24 volunteers. Stimulated calf contractions increased popliteal venous velocity and total venous volume flow above resting baseline.

From practices
The device
The VEINOPLUS® stimulation pattern was designed by Dr. Jozef Cywinski, a specialist in electrical muscle stimulation.
Consult the IFU for complete indications, contraindications, warnings, and precautions.
Veterans & Federal
VA internal PSAS/FSS procurement is not bound by NCD criteria, so the full FDA-cleared scope applies: relaxation of muscle spasms; prevention or retardation of disuse atrophy; increasing local blood circulation; muscle re-education; immediate post-surgical stimulation of calf muscles to prevent venous thrombosis; maintaining or increasing range of motion.
Not a substitute for guideline-directed VTE prophylaxis.
Community Care/CCN follows Medicare rules (NCD 160.12).
