Interesting. When I talked with Dr Isaacson's office over a year ago, they said Medicare would not cover it. Maybe they fixed that somehow.

As a FDA approved study we also have CMS approval to bill medicare. So far medicare has payed for patients for the procedure. Private insurances are hit and miss. Some will approve and some do not yet pay for the procedure. Those that are not paying at this time, likely will start in the next few years as the procedure becomes more common.

I am surprised also. They have a wealth of info and support options for PCa. I'm assuming he wasn't familiar with Dr. Picel.
