Subject: VNS Therapy for Depression
Dear Madam Secretary Burwell,
I would like to take this opportunity to inform you of a forthcoming presentation by a distinguished psychiatric professional Dr. Scott Aaronson relating to Neurostimulation for Mood Disorders.
I do so in the hope that you would instruct your professional staff within CMS to attend doctor Aaronson’s lecture in the hope they might better educate themselves as to the seriousness and life threatening illness of MDD (Major Depressive Disorder). At the same time I would also hope that they could come away with a far better understanding as to the dire need for newer treatment options for these patients simply because the conventional therapies costing this country trillions of dollars are ineffective for this patient population.
With that said, I am once again appealing not only to your heart but rational judgment to issue a “Compassionate Use” document for all those VNS Therapy Depression patients already implanted and in dire need of health insurance coverage to maintain their wellness.
Sincerely,
Herb
