So not that I like insurance companies (I very much do not) but this seems odd. I do histiotripsy, which is super cool! It allows us to treat certain tumors that could be difficult to get otherwise. But… histiotripsy is can be substituted with lower cost treatments almost always (Cryo or MW ablation) and if curative possibility were present with histiotripsy then another treatment modality would be feasible too.
