On the Medtronic website they note that most public and private health insurance companies, including Medicare, cover DBS surgery.

This is awesome, love the new Podcasts. I think in the interest of full transparency you might want to emphasize the sponsorship of this Podcast by Medtronic as some of the members listening may have missed that detail in the introduction.
We have 5 corporate sponsors for our podcast series and virtual education series and we note that in all the broadcasts, in our social media, on our website and in our publications. We will be hosting podcasts with many, many tech groups that support the ET community.
