I post a message several weeks ago regarding reimbursement for
CyberKnife therapy.

Does not appear that my Insurance carrier (Oxford) will cover the
treatments as they consider it "investigational" or " experimental".
Am investigating Tomotherapy and would like to get some feedback.

Is Tomotherapy a more "mainstream" therapy that would be covered by
most Insurance plans. Is Tomotherpay just a "trade name" for IMRT and
would require the low-dose fractions over say 40 treatments?

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Sy
