Program Details

Boston Scientific will provide a replacement WallFlex Stent of identical dimensions if a covered or partially covered WallFlex Stent is implanted in accordance with the terms of the Program and the physician is not satisfied with the patency of the stent during the first year, and all other terms of the Program are fulfilled. This offer applies only to covered and partially covered WallFlex Stents endoscopically placed in accordance with the Direction For Use after May 1, 2014.

Replacement stents provided under the Program are not eligible for the Program. Claims under the Program are limited to a replacement stent. Stents provided pursuant to the Program will be accompanied by a no-charge invoice shipped directly to the hospital upon receipt of the appropriate documentation. The hospital is responsible for reporting the replacement stent as a discount on the hospital’s cost report.

The Program is subject to modification or termination by Boston Scientific without prior notification. This program may not be available in all countries. Contact your Territory Manager for details of the Program.
