@foamhand May I ask how you got approved for an additional 6 doses?
My husband has been on a similar journey (12 years with bone Mets, doing his first round of Pluvitco Sep 23 - May 24). He had great results from Pluvitco. PSA’s starting to double each month & a second round is being discussed. He’s a little older, so on Medicare & I don’t believe they cover another round. Any insight would be appreciated

Here is i’d answer, though it may not be really satisfactory.

Medicare may provide payment for a second round of Pluvicto, but coverage depends on your specific Medicare plan and whether the treatment is deemed medically necessary. Medicare does not have a National Coverage Determination (NCD) for Pluvicto, so coverage decisions may rely on Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) or individual assessments. Additionally, prior authorization may be required, and the coding process can affect payment timelines.
To confirm coverage for a second round, consult your Medicare plan provider or the Medicare Coverage Database.
