This sentence is the key
"Individual Blue Cross and Blue Shield carriers now have a strong basis to issue coverage decisions for the use of capsule endoscopy for suspected Crohn's disease. We believe this decision reflects Blue Cross Blue Shield's long track record of leadership in making effective technologies and therapies available to its members."

This means that blue cross blue shield are giving GIVN a code for payments. Drs. will not in most cases prescibe something without a defined code. Which insures that they are going to get paid.

this news along with the news the other day is big IMHO

GVIN has now been assigned payment codes so we should see higher acceptence and use.

That said it still is a one trick pony.
