Reimbursement is a key driver in the adoption of medical innovation, and focused ultrasound is no exception. Unlike many industries where customers pay directly for products or services, medical reimbursement typically involves third-party payers. These payors, typically government agencies or insurance companies, cover the cost of procedures, devices, and related care. This chapter explores the global reimbursement landscape for focused ultrasound, highlighting where coverage exists, where gaps remain, and how payment coverage varies across healthcare systems. 

All coverage decisions are conditional. The most current medical policy documents from individual insurers should be referenced for a complete description of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Always check with your provider before treatment to confirm that you are covered.
