VERY EXPENSIVE! This is pie in the sky until either doctors lower the price or insurance covers treatment . That’s reality.

Every day, that's what I'm working on almost every day. Getting the evidence to present to a payor is the first step, but then making sure you make that compelling case is the next. Your reality is the right one, we need to make it accessible.

Fascinating. Question from someone who doesn’t know that much- is this study conclusive enough that we can expect insurance companies to change coverage and doctors to change standard of care, or is the timeline notably longer before any of that begins to change? (perhaps lots more studies are needed, for example)

We can expect insurance companies to continue to deny care. I bet my life on it.
