Yes. But as treatment goes on and there is a lack of change / progress why wouldn't the insurance companies look for ways to save? They have the data. There are millions of patients and doctors, etc.
1000% agree. I shudder to think what I would have done at the time if the non-standard treatment cost tens of thousands of dollars out of pocket because insurance wouldn't cover it. Through insurance coverages we're kinda locked into the meaty part of the curve when it comes to treatment options, unless you have money or your doctor really makes a good argument why something should be covered that goes against what insurance will cover for your condition.
