This is what REAL coverage looks like from a REAL company that knows what they are doing.

Yes, I did notice how Uroplasty does not have a PDF file on their website listing all of "Medicare coverage areas".At least Medtronic is willing to showcase what they have done for the medical community.It isn't all smoke and mirrors.We will see if the CEO actually speaks the truth on the investor conference call regarding which states are ACTUALLY RECEIVING CONSISTENT REIMBURSEMENT.

What do you suppose a doctor would say when he finds out that the 80% Response translates into a 19% reduction in frequency and 21% increase in voided volumes, among other voiding diary parameters?

How will they respond to the Leong data that shows over half the patients took longer than 5 weeks to see ANY improvement in Nocturia and 6 weeks for Frequency?

How will you be able to look them in the eye and say this is an effective treatment?

I have tried three different drugs with no help. There is a surgery that Medicare will pay for that would put me at great risk. If PTNS gave me 19% reduction in frequency, I'd be thrilled. I suppose a doctor would say that he is glad that I would no longer be considering suicide to solve my problem.
