Re:Cognition Health Breaks Ground with Medicare Coverage for Early Alzheimer’s Treatments

Re:Cognition Health Expands Access to Alzheimer's Treatments

In a groundbreaking announcement, Re:Cognition Health, a recognized leader in clinical research and treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease, revealed that it is now offering Medicare coverage for FDA-approved medications specifically designed for the early stages of this debilitating condition. The medications in question, Leqembi™ (lecanemab) and Kisunla™ (donanemab), are amyloid-targeting therapies that aim to alleviate the toxic buildup of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain—an established hallmark of Alzheimer’s Disease.

The importance of this coverage cannot be overstated. Dr. Emer MacSweeney, Co-Founder and CEO of Re:Cognition Health, emphasized the critical necessity of removing barriers to treatment for early-stage Alzheimer’s Disease patients. “The sooner we can offer these treatments, the more effective they are. Many patients are caught in long wait times for evaluations, which risks their eligibility for these life-changing therapies,” she explained.

According to reports by the Alzheimer's Association, an alarming 7.2 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer’s. Early detection and intervention are essential to manage the disease effectively. Unfortunately, many eligible patients often face daunting waits of 8 to 12 months just to see a neurologist. By that time, the disease may have progressed beyond the optimal stage for treatment with these drugs.

Re:Cognition Health operates several centers across the United States, including locations in Fairfax, Chicago, Houston, and Fort Worth, making these innovative treatments accessible to a broader public.

The company has built a strong reputation as a pioneer in amyloid-targeting therapies. They have hosted over 11,500 administration doses of these treatments in both the United States and the United Kingdom, establishing themselves as one of the frontrunners in Alzheimer’s research and therapy application. Their dedicated clinical team and cutting-edge technology ensure the highest quality of care for patients in distress.

As the awareness around Alzheimer’s continues to grow, initiatives like those from Re:Cognition Health promote early screening and proactive treatment to improve patient outcomes significantly. For any individuals or healthcare professionals concerned about Alzheimer’s Disease, Re:Cognition provides invaluable resources to help navigate the complexities of screening, assessment, and immediate treatment options.
