The agreement provides for an immediate re-stocking order and minumum purchase guarantees through the end of 2023.

Brian Murphy, Chief Executive Officer of NanoVibronix, Inc., commented, “Since executing the original distribution agreement in 2020, UPPI has grown to be our largest distributor of PainShield and PainShield Plus. The team at UPPI understands the importance of providing clinicians and patients with non-narcotic/non-opiate clinincally-supported modalities to reduce the economic burden on the healthcare system and limit the amount of lost working days for injured workers,¹ which makes them a valuable channel for our products.

“Our efforts to obtain full approval from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (‘CMS’) continue. We submitted the final report with our application to CMS in March 2023, and we remain hopeful for a favorable outcome. If approved, reimbursements could begin as early as October 1 of this year. The new agreement with UPPI takes into consideration approval from CMS and provides for modifications that consider the opportunities afforded through reimbursement.”
