It could be coverage. It could be that they couldn't find a facility or that there were too many options and they had analysis paralysis, or they went to a place that wasn't actually evidence-based or at the bar that we expect at Lyra. Then, they're actually worse off because now maybe they've paid out of pocket tens of thousands of dollars and they didn't actually get better.” - Dr.
