The term "investigational" means that the medical technology does not meet Asuris' technology assessment criteria. If any one or more of the criteria are not met, the technology will be determined to be investigational. In addition, all services specifically associated with the investigational technology, including but not limited to associated procedures, treatments, supplies, devices, equipment, facilities or drugs, will also be considered investigational.
