What you're buying — the spec sheet

The countable facts of the purchase itself — setting, anesthesia, theatre time, visits and materials. Hospital-published specs replace the typicals as they're collected.

Visits
Multiple sessions — the course, not one visit, is the treatment

Typicals from the same model as the recovery timeline — your surgeon's plan for your case is the spec that counts. Every sourced spec raises this page's MPI coverage.
