Has anyone out there tried Histotripsy for tumors in the liver? What were the results, where was it done, and most importantly did your insurance pay for it, or did you have to come out of pocket for the procedure?

Thanks. I am searching for options for me. Recent MRI detected a tumor in the liver and another in the right abdominal wall. Had a tumor removed from the liver in January 2024.
I truly appreciate the informative reply.
