Insurance covers surgery. We fund what they won't.
Minimally invasive prostate cancer treatment — for every man told surgery is his only option.
"Founded by a survivor. Built for every man told surgery is his only option. There is a better path forward."
When a man is diagnosed with favorable intermediate risk prostate cancer — Gleason 6 or Gleason 7 (3+4) — he is typically presented with two choices: surgery or radiation.
But minimally invasive alternatives exist. HIFU. Focal laser therapy. Proton therapy. Treatments that target the cancer while preserving quality of life.
The problem? Insurance almost universally denies these treatments as experimental — even when they are medically proven. And most urologists only offer what insurance will pay for.
That leaves thousands of men every year feeling cornered by their diagnosis — not because better options don't exist, but because they can't afford them.
InDEP Fundings exists to change that.
Proven clinical outcomes. Frequently denied by insurance as "experimental." Out of pocket cost: $25,000–$40,000.
Targets only the cancer. Preserves surrounding tissue. Classified as investigational by most carriers.
Superior precision over conventional radiation. Frequently denied in favor of cheaper options.
Minimally invasive. Coverage inconsistent and frequently denied for prostate specifically.
InDEP Fundings operates on a charitable grant model — funded by donors who believe every man deserves a choice.

Not RecognizedFounder & Executive Director
"I sat across from two urologists. Both gave me the same two options — surgery or radiation. Nobody mentioned anything else."
At 54 years old, JeanLuc Gayott Jr. was diagnosed with intermediate risk prostate cancer. Like most men in his position, he was presented with a binary choice — and told that was it.
But JeanLuc did what men do when they refuse to accept the hand they are dealt. He researched. He found HIFU, focal therapy, proton treatment. He called the centers. They told him insurance doesn't cover it.
That moment of being cornered — not by his diagnosis, but by his insurance coverage — became the founding of InDEP Fundings.
InDEP Fundings is not against surgery. It is not against radiation. It is simply for giving every man the financial ability to choose.
