Winnie, A national Medicare coverage decision took effect on April 1, 2003 for DBS treatment of Parkinson's Disease and Essential Tremor - meaing that Medicare will cover DBS surgery in all 50 states in the U.S. Previously coverage was decided by the local Medicare carriers, and only about half of the states' carriers would cover it. There is more information about the decision and about criteria and requirements for coverage at: http://grassrootsconnection.com/issuedbs.htm Linda Herman On Mon, 5 May 2003 10:36:42 EDT Winnie Carolgray <[log in to unmask]> writes: > i need some info...........does anyone know if Texas > medicare is paying fo DBS? > > WINNIE CAROL GRAY > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: > mailto:[log in to unmask] > In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
