Insights
The CMS transitional pass-through payment approval for Medtronic's Symplicity Spyral RDN catheter represents a significant reimbursement milestone. This designation, effective January 2025, will substantially reduce financial barriers for healthcare providers adopting this innovative technology. TPT status is highly selective and typically leads to improved Medicare coverage pathways.
The reimbursement structure will likely accelerate market penetration in the
The TPT approval strengthens Medtronic's competitive position in the renal denervation market. The Symplicity Spyral system's unique advantages include:
- No permanent implant requirement
- Minimally invasive procedure
- Extensive clinical validation through the SPYRAL HTN program
The Symplicity ™ blood pressure procedure offers patients a new adjunct approach to lowering blood pressure

"Receiving TPT approval for our RDN catheter is an important milestone for the Symplicity blood pressure procedure, as it will enable greater patient access to a breakthrough treatment by reducing cost barriers for healthcare systems," said Jason Weidman, senior vice president and president of the Coronary and Renal Denervation business within the Cardiovascular Portfolio at Medtronic. "Very few technologies achieve this qualification, and the core goals of fostering innovation and increasing access mirror Medtronic's desire to continue bringing Symplicity to even more patients suffering from uncontrolled high blood pressure. We look forward to continuing to work with CMS to establish coverage and expand patient access."
Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is the leading modifiable cause of heart attack, stroke, and death,1 and its prevalence is notably worse in underserved
The purpose of the TPT program is to support access to newly approved innovative technologies where the costs to adopt them may otherwise inhibit patient access. The TPT program reduces barriers for Medicare beneficiaries to access critical healthcare innovations shortly after products receive FDA approval by providing hospitals with additional payments to cover their costs, while allowing CMS to collect necessary cost data to determine future outpatient payments.
Approved by the
Supporting TPT approval is the Medtronic SPYRAL HTN Global Clinical Program, which is the most comprehensive clinical program studying RDN in the presence and absence of medication, and in patients with both high and lower baseline cardiovascular risk. The Symplicity Spyral RDN System is approved for commercial use in more than 75 countries around the world and is backed by experience in more than 25,000 patients treated globally with the Symplicity blood pressure procedure. The Symplicity Spyral renal denervation system is limited for investigational use in
