If you are Medicare, be certain to understand that most private providers do not accept Medicare due to the reduced coverage paid by Medicare. Private providers also often do not provide a pre-authorization to your insurance either. Be very careful or you may be surprised by the bill. If insurance is an issue, and you are in OKC or close, you could drive to Dallas and use UTSouthwestern.
I had the local urologist to refer me to OU. Dr. Stratton is an OU doctor but the procedure was done at Oklahoma Proton Center in Edmund. Everything except the actual procedure is at OU. I'm assuming that the TULSA equipment is located at Ok. Proton Center. The dr. told me that most hospitals don't want to tie up their MRI for 4 hours which was how long the procedure took for me.
