Premia Spine Announces New Technology Add-On Payment for TOP™ System


In the TOPS US clinical trial, the mean age of patients was 64 years, thus indicating a sizable addressable market for the NTAP program.

Ron Sacher, CEO of Premia Spine commented, “We are honored by the recognition of CMS. TOPS™ has proven its ability to provide both clinical excellence and healthcare economic advantage to patients, providers, and payers. The NTAP program is an example of forward-thinking policy that aligns incentives so that patients receive the best short-term and long-term care.”

A publication in the Journal of Health Economics and Outcomes Research, “A Prospective Study of Lumbar Facet Arthroscopy in the Treatment of Degenerative Spondylolisthesis and Stenosis: Early Cost-Effective Assessment from the Total Posterior Spine System (TOPS) IDE Study” confirmed the cost-effectiveness and economic benefit of the TOPS System versus TLIF fusion for patients suffering from spondylolisthesis and spinal stenosis.

The data from the prospective randomized study was analyzed by Neuronomics, an independent professional corporation focusing on healthcare economic analyses. Its findings demonstrate that, even at a premium of $4,000 over the cost of a TLIF implant, TOPS™ still achieves cost-effectiveness at a willingness-to-pay threshold of $100,000 within one-year after surgery. Furthermore, TOPS becomes the dominant strategy when data is examined at two years and beyond. From the societal perspective, TOPS is even more highly cost-effective at one year and dominant at two years and beyond.

The paper, led by author Jared Ament, MD, a neurosurgeon at the Neurosurgery & Spine Group, Los Angeles, states, “TOPS™ appears to be a highly cost-effective surgical modality compared with TLIF as a motion-preserving, non-fusion alternative for the treatment of grade 1 spondylolisthesis with lumbar spinal stenosis. Since the TOPS System yields greater QOL [quality of life] at a lower total cost over time, it deserves serious attention.”
