Helius Medical PoNS device reimbursed by Veterans Affairs for TBI rehabilitation
VA News3/27/2026·03/27/26🌐 USA
Summary
The US Department of Veterans Affairs has added Helius Medical's PoNS tongue neurostimulation device to its National Formulary for traumatic brain injury rehabilitation, making it available to 9 million US veterans at VA facilities nationwide. The listing follows positive outcomes in a VA-funded TBI rehabilitation study across 12 VA centers.
Why it matters
VA National Formulary listing is one of the most valuable reimbursement pathways in US healthcare, providing immediate access for a large, defined patient population with TBI — a condition with very few effective rehabilitation options. This validates PoNS as a mainstream rehabilitation tool.
