Dr. Vince Leone argues against insurance coverage for decompression services, warning that it would let insurers dictate pricing and destroy the current model where providers set fees based on value and patients pay directly.
Some doctors will say, well, gosh, it's not covered by insurance. You do not want this covered by insurance. Ooh. The day that this becomes an insurance-backed service is gonna be a bad, bad time for decompression, in my opinion, because then they dictate what we can charge, right? So right now we can dictate what we charge, and as long as we provide the value, the patient will pay it.
