Yes, insurance covers this.
Adaptive radiotherapy with the Akesis Gemini 360 is FDA-cleared, medically necessary treatment — not an elective procedure. Most major insurance plans cover it the same way they cover conventional radiation therapy.
Our billing team handles insurance verification and pre-authorization before your first session so there are no surprises. If you have questions about coverage, call us at (435) 900-7060 — we're happy to check your benefits before you commit to anything.
Please do not send Protected Health Information (PHI) by email or voicemail. Standard email is not secure — call us and we will arrange a secure channel.
How the insurance process works
We handle the insurance paperwork so you can focus on your health. Here's exactly what happens from your first call through treatment.
Schedule your consultation
Call to schedule. During this call, we'll collect your insurance information to begin the verification process right away.
Insurance verification
Our billing team contacts your insurance company directly to verify your coverage, confirm benefits, and determine your estimated out-of-pocket costs. This happens before your first appointment.
Pre-authorization
For most plans, radiation therapy requires pre-authorization. We handle this entire process — submitting documentation, following up with your insurer, and confirming approval before treatment begins.
Cost estimate review
Before your first session, we'll provide a clear estimate of what you'll owe based on your plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance. No surprise bills.

We bill your insurance directly after each session. If you have questions about a statement at any time, our billing team is available to help.

Fewer sessions, comparable cost
Because adaptive radiotherapy with the Gemini 360 often requires significantly fewer treatment sessions than conventional radiation, total treatment costs are frequently comparable — sometimes even lower. Beyond the financial benefit, fewer sessions mean less time away from work and family.
Traditional Radiation
- 20–45 treatments over 5–9 weeks
- Copay per session multiplied by 20–45 visits
- 5-9 weeks of reduced work productivity
Adaptive Radiotherapy
- As few as 5 sessions over 1 week
- Fewer copays, comparable total cost
- Minimal disruption to work and daily life

Common insurance questions
Is adaptive radiotherapy considered experimental by insurance companies?
No. The Akesis Gemini 360 has received both FDA 510(k) clearance and Premarket Approval. Adaptive radiotherapy is classified as medically necessary treatment — not experimental or investigational. Insurance companies cover it the same way they cover conventional radiation therapy.
What if my insurance requires a referral?
Some plans require a referral from your primary care physician or oncologist. If that applies to you, we can help coordinate the referral process. However, you don't need a referral to call us and start the conversation.
What if I don't have insurance?
We understand that not everyone has insurance coverage. Contact our billing team to discuss self-pay options and financial assistance programs that may be available to help manage treatment costs.
Does insurance cover treatment for benign conditions?
Coverage for benign conditions like Dupuytren's contracture, plantar fasciitis, and keloids varies by plan. Our billing team will verify your specific coverage before treatment. Many plans do cover radiation therapy for these conditions when other treatments have been ineffective.
How much will I owe out of pocket?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance structure. We'll provide a clear cost estimate before treatment begins so you know what to expect. Because adaptive radiotherapy often requires fewer sessions than conventional radiation, total costs may be comparable or lower.
Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for treatment?
Yes. Radiation therapy is a qualified medical expense for Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). You can use these funds to cover your deductible, copay, or coinsurance.
