CMS has reviewed the evidence and determined that Cavernous Nerves Electrical Stimulation with Penile Plethysmography is not reasonable and necessary for Medicare beneficiaries undergoing nerve-sparing prostatic or colorectal surgical procedures. Therefore Medicare does not pay for this test as specified in section 1862(a)(1)(A) of the Social Security Act and section 160.26 of Pub.100-03, the NCD Manual.
