Laser lithotripsy (LL) has been evaluated against Extracorporeal Shock Wave lithotripsy (ESWL), finding both to be safe and effective. [3] [4] ESWL may be safer for small stones (<10 mm), but less effective for 10–20 mm stones. [3] A 2013 meta-analysis found LL can treat larger stones (> 2 cm) with good stone-free and complication rates. [5]
Each will determine how much a consumer will pay. Bronze level: On average, the health plan pays 60% of covered health-care costs; the consumer pays 40%. Silver level: On average, the health plan pays 70% of covered health-care costs; the consumer pays 30%.
For the "non-group" market, of which two-thirds are covered by the ACA exchanges, a survey of 2015 data found that: 49% had individual deductibles of at least $1,500 ($3,000 for family), up from 36% in 2014. Many marketplace enrollees qualify for cost-sharing subsidies that reduce their net deductible.
Lithotripsy is a procedure involving the physical destruction of hardened masses like kidney stones, [1] bezoars [2] or gallstones, which may be done non-invasively. The term is derived from the Greek words meaning "breaking (or pulverizing) stones" ( litho- + τρίψω [tripso]).

Electrohydraulic Lithotripsy (EHL) is a medical procedure which uses targeted shockwaves to break up kidney stones and gallstones. [1] This form of extracorporeal lithotripsy is unique in that the shockwaves are produced by a vaporization bubble expanding and collapsing repeatedly, creating a pressure wave. [ 1 ]
