Tulsa Pro - my initial treatment experience

As far as I understand next Jan 1 of 2025 it has a Medicare code for coverage, but till then it will just a bit over $30K where I had it (Dr Scionti, Sarasota, FL).

For places see:

Obviously some are gearing up, some have done it awhile, some have differing acceptance protocols so call multiple places if you can swing the cost.

As far as Flowmax, I only took it one month then switched to Alfuzosin for a month, which has less problems but is no where as strong. Flowmax is needed after the procedure because you would not be able to pee till swelling and so on goes down. For me that was 2 months, some might be longer, some less. It may depend on how much BPH and how much they ablate. But I don't really like Flowmax for regular use, glad I don't need it anymore and if I did I would use Alfuzosin anyway.

Medicare will pay a portion for TULSA if done in a hospital vs an imaging facility.
