@paulcalif Thank you for the detailed explanation. I have been watching TULSA Pro procedure since 2015 but at that point, it was only in clinical trial. My doctor here in Arizona wouldn't perform it unless I paid $35,000 cash. I could not afford that so here I am in 2026 and saw your Mayo Clinic post. Since I live in Arizona, UCLA is not a viable option. Oh, I could go there but it would cost me time and money to do so. I just need to find a doctor here in Arizona that is not so greedy as to insist on a cash payment and will take Medicare and my Plan G supplement as payment. I am exploring Mayo Clinic here in Arizona to see if that is an option but I haven't discovered if they perform TULSA Pro yet. I have an appointment to discuss Nanoknife procedure in March but I really like the idea of TULSA Pro better.

@tdoriausername I did Hemi gland Tulsa Pro at Mayo in Jacksonville FL in Dec. 2025. My Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield covered it and since I had met my out of packet max for the year which is $7,000 it was fully covered. Week with the catheter was hard, but since then all is good. Utinating better then before and have had sex 4 times in the two months following the procedure. Going back March 26th for first PSA test. Praying all is good. Lots of things led me to Tulsa Pro mainly the location of my lesson which was anterior ir on the inner layer of the prostate. It was also just one core of the 13 core biopsy that showed 70% abnormal and only 10% of that 70% was 4 for a 3+4=7. All other tests including PSMA PET showed confined. I’m very happy so far with what I did.

I wouldn’t rule out Tulsa at UCLA if you are in AZ. Drive over, spend 1 night, have procedure, drive home. You can have catheter removed locally. The procedure for me was painless and I took my normal 2 mile walk the next day. My guess is they will also take your Medicare plus supplement plan. I had zero cost at Mayo Rochester, using Medicare and supplement.
