Why is there such a cost variance?

Asked By:Eddie3067 in Chicago, IL

I found a place in Puerto Rico that offers it for $3000 while locally, i haven't found anything lower than $6000. If the point of this device is that there is no surgery, shouldn't it be a cheaper option? Also, any word on when BCBS will make it a covered item?
