The insurance companies are looking for every way to cut down on costs. I wonder if you could get one maintenance ECT session for *less* money than a couple of AD scripts and a pdoc visit twice a month? Of course, that would assume doing it say on a Friday (taking one day off work), and being able to return on the following Monday. Don't know just guessing here. Economics seem to rule when everybody is losing money. Anybdoy have any $$ numbers $$ on a maintenance ECT session?
