Let's keep adding context, but from a different angle: EviCore was formally created in 2014/2015 through a merger of MedSolutions and CareCore National. The oldest EviCore radiotherapy guidelines I personally have archived is from 2019. I believe this was close to, if not THE first...but they make this difficult to find (for obvious and shady reasons). But we can say with certainty that EviCore themselves deemed LDRT for osteoarthritis "medically necessary" at least as far back as 2019. So what changed? Well, though LDRT started its journey of rediscovery in America in 2020/2021, it was still relatively unknown to the public and uncommonly performed in American clinics. Because LDRT, you know, actually works - more and more of us started to offer it, and patients have the ability to like...talk to each other. In my own practice, for example, I have never once advertised. All of my LDRT patients are word of mouth self-referrals, or referrals from local doctors after they saw me treat their other patients. Naturally, as this happened across the country, the public took notice. In 2025, the radiotherapy professional society ASTRO made benign disease/LDRT the theme of their yearly conference. As you can see from the Google Trends data, Americans searching for "low dose radiation therapy" really took off in early 2025 - and kept going. Recently, this culminated in an article appearing on NBC's "Today" website, authored by @LaVarsovienne. It was a classic, feel-good story of LDRT literally making a person, well...feel good. This article was published on June 16th, 2026, at 1:08PM. As seen in the Google Trends data, June 2026 is currently the absolute pinnacle of public interest in LDRT. Which makes sense. "Today" is a massive, international platform. A lot of people saw it. Almost certainly the people at EviCore saw it. Which is why the PDF metadata of EviCore's latest guidelines - the one where they abruptly reverse course on LDRT - is extremely interesting. What are the chances that this PDF was created on June 17th, 2026, at 11:13AM? As in: 22 hours after one of the biggest platforms in the world runs a story on the benefits of LDRT, the largest benefits manager in the country creates the PDF of their newest guidelines, reversing course on covering this exact treatment, after explicitly covering it for nearly a decade? Based on a fraudulent AI slop meta-analysis paper? Really? I mean sure, it COULD be a coincidence. Or it could be that EviCore had already drafted most (all?) of this new version, saw this "Today" article drop on a Tuesday, internally said "nope, shut it down", and within 24 hours created this nonsensical non-coverage. That's quite a coincidence for a company known to utilize their own AI platforms to make immediate, slash-and-burn decisions. Within that context, it could be considered a consistent pattern of behavior. Has anyone re-read that @statnews investigation into EviCore lately? The one from last year? It's certainly compelling!
