Can you clarify for me a point. It is my understanding that Vaso makes no money from a treatment. They sell a machine and get a little money on education. If so, where do they really start making big money? It doesn't seem like the basic ailments they are approved to correct will really demand a great number of service centers.

Let's say they sell 500 units in the next 2 years, which would probably be 2 units in every major city. In actual dollars that's not really a lot of money is it? Aren't the cost of these systems less then $50,000?

I'm a bit fuzzy on the whole VASO story. I followed it more closely in the past, but have let it slip off my screen for more important investments. I love the idea of non-invasive health care, but don't see where the profit will come from unless they can get a piece of the patient payments.

Regards,

Mark

Yes, the reimbursement in full or in part may depend on the medicare's decision. But then, it will be a guideline for others to follow. REIMBURSEMENT WILL NOT BE ON CASE BY CASE BASIS. This will help a lot since a patient can decide whether to pitch in the 20 % or not, and this certainly helps them (and the doctors) to make the decision.

Just to make the point, I go to dentists to get my gum done, I need it, and am willing to pay the 20%.
