Note: Results may appear inexact due to rounding.
a
All costs are reported in 2018 Canadian dollars.
b
10-kHz high-frequency SCS therapy (i.e., costs of device, procedures and complications) with the Freedom SCS system.
c
The cost of device included in the current scenario accounts for all devices: [($27,000 × 0.5 + $19,995 × 0.5) × 5 + (0.99 × $29,300 + 0.01 × $22,350)] ÷ 6 = $24,453.
