This is one of the ways to reduce medical costs. Facility payments are for hospitals vs doctors offices and clinics(non-facility). Since non-facility are the focus for lack of cleaning of scopes, this is a great selling point for VSCI products and the reimbursements are greater.

The urology products for VSCI should get a sponsor like MDT because this where VSCI can make its most impact felt.
