If your blood pressure still isn’t controlled after lifestyle changes and multiple blood pressure medications, you may be a candidate for the Paradise procedure.

You can take this short quiz to find out if you could be a candidate. Your doctor may evaluate you for other criteria to determine if the Paradise procedure is right for you. Only a doctor can determine if the Paradise procedure is right for you.

Needing a referral depends on the hospital or medical facility policies in your area or your insurance policy. In most cases, a referral isn’t needed.

Before your insurance provider covers certain treatments, they may require your doctor to get approval first. This pre-approval is called Prior Authorization.

Prior Authorization helps your insurance provider confirm that a treatment is medically necessary for you and is covered by your plan. Your doctor’s hospital will support you through the insurance pre-approval process. If your hospital doesn’t have an insurance team and your doctor is partnering with our Patient Access team, we can help navigate and support your insurance coverage process for the Paradise procedure.

Typically, the pre-approval process doesn’t require any action from you besides signing a few forms and confirming your doctor has your insurance information.

After your eligibility is confirmed, your doctor will submit your case to the Recor Patient Access Team. Our team will submit your claim to your insurance provider and work directly with your doctor.

If you’re approved, your doctor will contact you to schedule your Paradise procedure. This process typically takes 15-30 business days.
