even if you pay out of pockets so even if it's not covered the negotiated rate is going to be different based on whatever carrier you have so I would say much fewer than uh 50% of my patients uh have coverage
The headline is broadly defensible, but the qualifications matter. Effect sizes vary by population, the strongest claims rest on shorter trials, and credible voices push back on how it's typically framed.

Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.
Bookmarking — the dossier-vs-overview split is the right call. Most of the time I want overview; sometimes I want receipts.
Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
but for CT angiograms the cost is much higher you know and again I don't know and this is one of the problems of their Healthcare System I don't want to get distracted in that but it's transparent to me what the cost is to my patients unless they go and do some digging and what's really annoying is that it's often not clear to them what they're going to pay for it until after they already have it
