Default late stage help duodopa pump

Hi
I posted earlier about this I have a friend 70 year old vet. he is in late stage and in bed.They dont do any therapy for himhe just spends most of his time in bed
he got good benefit from sinemet for several years.I dont know why he never got DBS,maybe the va wouldnt cover it.I think he might get benefit from the pump and get him out of bed.
Id like to find how to get him atleast a trial on this so he can live.
I read that many got mobile again and realy wonder why this is being held up

he lives in upstate ny,any replies are welcome.
