Insurance Coverage for MR guided Focused Ultrasound Surgery

Contact your insurance provider to find out if the ExAblate MR guided Focused Ultrasound treatment is covered. 

 If it is not covered we have provided materials below to help you.
Since MRgFUS is a relatively new technology, many health plans may not yet cover it as a routine benefit. Despite this, increasing numbers of patients have obtained pre-authorization of treatment coverage by their carriers, on a case by case basis. 
 
 
What can you do?

Contact your employer/union and ask them to consider offering MRgFUS as a covered benefit.

The advantages are:

• Non-invasive outpatient procedure
• No hospitalization
• No anesthesia - only limited conscious sedation
• No ionized radiation
• Next day return to normal activity
• Very low rate of complications
