Zynex Anticipates No Material Change in Revenue from Switch in United Health Care Prescription Coverage
Zynex, a medical technology company, announced it does not expect material revenue changes in 2022 following United Healthcare's decision to switch its prescription coverage. CEO Thomas Sandgaard emphasized that most of Zynex's business comes from out-of-network coverage, minimizing the impact of this shift. The mutual decision to terminate the contract allows Zynex to continue offering its NexWave device as a non-addictive pain solution. A conference call will take place on February 24, 2022, to discuss fourth-quarter and full-year results.
- No expected material revenue changes in 2022 due to the United Healthcare contract termination.

ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 18, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zynex, Inc. (NASDAQ: ZYXI), an innovative medical technology company specializing in the manufacture and sale of non-invasive medical devices for pain management, rehabilitation, and patient monitoring, today responded to a short report related to United Health Care's prescription coverage of its products.
"We do not expect Zynex to experience any material changes in revenue throughout 2022 due to shifts in United Healthcare's reimbursement program," said Thomas Sandgaard, CEO. "In fact, most of Zynex's commercial business insurance is through out-of-network coverage, and we accept all prescriptions and process claims through all insurance companies. Making our products accessible to every patient is a critical part of our business model, and the impact of UHC becoming an out-of-network partner will be de minimus to our bottom line. We are pleased to continue offering our patients an effective and non-addictive pain solution through the NexWave device. The decision to terminate the contract with United Healthcare was a mutual one."
As a reminder, Zynex's management will host a conference call and webcast at 2:15 p.m. MT / 4:15 p.m. ET on February 24th to report fourth quarter and full-year 2021 results and provide a corporate update.
