As with a lot of elective medicine; often they'll know you will research, so will level set you to a high price, but inperson offer you a discount to close the deal, so true market price might be a third or even half of that, hard to say.Looks pretty good. I suspect this type if thing is where we’re headed. It’s a ripe field for fraud however. Not that I think they are. A week there which includes two fMri’s, is $9k-$13k with likely no coverage.
Any info on whether fMri’s really show or represent what they claim?
I think the fMRI probably a bit of a placebo/confidence boost so when you finish, you have some scientfic metric of improvement so you feel accomplished and stay motivated. It looks like they just have 6 broad metrics, there is no way the therapy is tailored to be so finegrained based on the exact fMRI results, and could have been determined with much much cheaper method.
It would be like you saying you want to work on your moguls, first they reserve and rope off a competition mogul course for you with staff to video, score, and do timing. Then after the course they do it again so you can see your improvement in metrics. The competition level metrics totally unneccessary to do the lessons.
Still placebos do work, if confidence and motivation are a part of sticking with recovery work after the class.
