The Cala kIQ® System is reimbursed for veterans
The Cala kIQ system is the only wearable therapy covered by the Department of Veterans Affairs to treat essential tremor. Visit a neurologist at your local VA facility to get started.
Answer a few questions and find out if Cala could work for you.
How do I access the Cala device through the VA?
The Cala device is covered by the VA for eligible veterans with an essential tremor diagnosis. Schedule with your healthcare provider to discuss if Cala therapy is right for you. You can download the Doctor Discussion Guide to bring to your appointment. If eligible, your provider will submit an order for the Cala device on your behalf.
What can I expect?
Your provider will place an order for the Cala device on your behalf with the VA Prosthetics department. Once the order is placed, you’ll receive a call to confirm the order and complete any necessary forms. Your provider may choose to have the device shipped directly to you or to your VA facility for onboarding and training.
What’s the expected out-of-pocket cost?
As a veteran receiving therapy within the VA system, there is no out-of-pocket cost to you. Cala therapy is fully covered by the VA.
What’s the return policy?
You have 90 days to try Cala therapy at no cost. If you and your doctor decide not to continue with the Cala system, simply return the stimulator, base station, and any bands to Cala or to your VA.
How do I get new bands?
Contact your VA provider by phone or send a message through your MyHealtheVet account. This can be your physician, occupational therapist, or any healthcare provider you see at the VA. Your provider will determine if you need an appointment before placing an order for additional Cala bands. After Cala Health receives the order, we will ship the bands to your home or to the VA (if requested by your provider).
