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.

Thanks. That is what I was afraid of. I have already contacted Oklahoma Proton Center. They will not accept any insurance. Private pay only. We have Healthchoice insurance. I don't think they will pay out of state. Looks like I may be stuck with surgery. Can't come up with the 33k that Oklahoma Proton Center says they need. Thanks again for your input.

Well, probably not so much tie the MRI up for four hours as it is the bore on the TULSA PRO MRI is larger than the standard bore of an MRI machine. Most hospitals will not have a MRI with a bore this large. This is necessary due to body position, the UA probe and other devices.
