And they actually had reasonable outcomes. The last two are, are better design studies. Although, again, I questioned the number of candidates and how scientific these studies were. Fee schedules, relative value units, conversion factors and/or related components are not assigned by the AMA, are not part of CPT, and the AMA is not So, in summary of sort of a general overview of this, some preliminary data appears potentially promising.
