From what I gather it’s hit and miss. I have a supplemental plan, not sure if that will help.

The reason why it’s hit-and-miss with insurance companies for treating prostate cancer is that it’s not “fda-approved” for treating prostate cancer. (It’s still considered experimental for prostate cancer treatment.)
NanoKnife is “fda-cleared” for prostate-tissue ablation, so doctors are permitted to use it “off-label” for prostate cancer treatment.
