Gastric Freezing Form
Procedure is not covered
Background for this Policy
Gastric freezing for chronic peptic ulcer disease is a non-surgical treatment which was popular about 20 years ago but now is seldom done. It has been abandoned due to a high complication rate, only temporary improvement experienced by patients, and lack of effectiveness when tested by double-blind, controlled clinical trials.
Since the procedure is now considered obsolete, it is not covered.
