A member asked:
Is radio-frequency ablation covered by medi-cal or medicare? or can you pay cash and how much it costs
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insurance may or may: Not pay. Insurance companies would generally require patients to try conservative treatment first -e.g. Medications, physical therapy, epidural shots, before they approve this procedure. Your dr can give u the best answer.http://www.medcentral.org/main/radiofrequencyablation.aspx. http://www.doctoroz.com/blog/mao-shing-ni-lac-dom-phd/4-herbs-natural-pain-relief.
