Men Deserve a Choice.
THE SITUATION
Medicare has decided to provide coverage for HIFU starting in 2021. Unfortunately, their proposed coverage of the cost, or reimbursement, is shockingly insufficient. It will not even cover the basic costs associated with performing HIFU for a healthcare facility.
WHY THIS IS UPSETTING
Research and studies show that for the right patients, HIFU is an effective treatment option with less risk of side effects as tradiational therapies like surgey and radiation. Since the proposed coverage from Medicare won't even cover the cost of the materials, equipment and services to deliver the treatment, the facilities will not offer it as a treatment option.
This means men will not have the choice of HIFU for prostate disease treatment.
Men will not have access to the care they want.
