MP091-Sacral Nerve Stimulation (Interstim)
A sacral nerve stimulator is composed of a pulse generator that transmits electrical impulses to the sacral nerves through an implanted wire electrode. 

MP301-Sacroiliac Joint Fusion
Sacroiliac joint fusion is a surgical procedure which fuses the pelvis to the sacrum to provide stabilization

MP295-Sacroiliac Joint Injection

MP162-Salivary Hormone Testing for Menopause and Aging
Saliva can be analyzed for lipid-soluble hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, melatonin, cortisol and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone). Salivary hormone levels reflect the free, unbound and active, hormone concentration.

MP208-Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (aka, Intrahepatic Radioembolization)
Selective internal radiation therapy (aka intrahepatic radioembolization) involves the use of intra-hepatic microspheres which are radio-labeled particles composed of glass or resin polymers.

MP177-Sensory Integration Therapy
Sensory integration therapy (SIT) is intended to improve one’s ability to process and integrate sensory information and provide a basis for improved independence and participation in daily life activities.

MP218-Serum Antibodies for the Diagnosis of Inflammatory Bowel Disease
The Prometheus system is a commercially available diagnostic system that uses combinations of tests for ANCA and/or ASCA to aid in the diagnosis of Inflammatory bowel disease(IBD). 

MP078-Sexual Dysfunction Therapies
Sexual dysfunction describes any of a group of sexual disorders characterized by the inhibition of sexual desire or the physiological changes that characterize inhibition of sexual response.

MP287-Shift Care

MP248-Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) to Predict Risk of Non-Familial Breast Cancer
Single nucleotide polymorphisms, usually referred to as SNPs, are small genetic changes among single base nucleotides.

MP332 - Skilled Nursing Facility

MP020-Solid Organ Transplant Services
Approved solid organ transplantation is covered when medically indicated. Transplant evaluation, transplant services and post-transplant care are coordinated through the current contracted transplant management vendor.

MP040-Somnoplasty, Coblation (Radiofrequency Ablation)
Somnoplasty utilizes low-power, low-temperature radiofrequency energy as a treatment for nasal airway obstruction, obstructive sleep apnea and/or snoring.

MP227-Spaced Retrieval Training
Spaced retrieval (SR) is a memory intervention that gives individuals practice at successfully recalling information over progressively longer intervals of time.

MP275-Speech Generating Devices
Speech-generating devices are electronic augmentative and alternative communication systems used to supplement or replace speech or writing for individuals with severe speech impairments, enabling them to verbally communicate their needs.

MP318-Sphenopalatine Gangloin Block for Headache
Sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) nerve block via an intranasal topical anesthetic has been proposed as a treatment for chronic migraine and severe non-migraine headache. The SPG is located behind the bony structures of the nose and is linked to the trigeminal nerve, the primary nerve involved in headache disorders.

MP084-Stereotactic Radiosurgery (SRS) and Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
Stereotactic radiosurgery and stereotactic body radiation therapy are a non-invasive method of delivering high doses of ionizing radiation utilizing three-dimensional planning of stereotactic and convergent beam technologies to small intracranial, some extracranial lesions, and tissues or lesions that may be inaccessible or unsuitable for open surgery.

MP344-Sublingual Immunotherapy
Sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT, SIT) has been studied as a treatment for allergic rhinitis, asthma and sensitivity to seasonal allergens (e.g., grass and pollen) and to other common allergens including, but not limited to dust mites, pet dander, molds and/or nuts.

MP181-Suit Therapy
Suit therapy has been proposed as an alternative treatment for impairments associated with sensory integration disorders, cerebral palsy and other neuromuscular conditions.
 
MP221-Suprachoroidal Delivery of Pharmacologic Agents
Suprachoroidal delivery of pharmacologic agents is currently being investigated as a means to deliver higher levels of drug to the targeted tissue.

MP297-Suprascapular Nerve Block

MP048-Surgical and Minimally Invasive Therapies for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hypertrophy
Transurethral microwave thermotherapy (TUMT), transurethral radiofrequency thermotherapy (TUNA), laser prostatectomy, and water induced thermotherapy (WIT) are outpatient ablation treatments for symptomatic benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). 

MP050-Surgical Correction of Chest Wall Deformities
Pectus Excavatum is characterized by a concave, posteriorly displaced sternum due to overgrowth of the costal cartilages.

MP292-Sympathetic Nerve Block

MP146-Sympathetic Therapy
Sympathetic therapy is a non-invasive type of bilateral electrical stimulation of the peripheral nerves that is theorized to stimulate the sympathetic nervous system in an effort to “normalize” the autonomic nervous system and alleviate chronic pain.
