Insurance companies can't deny treatment based on the price of it. They can request you try other things first---but right now IVIG is the first line treatment for an immune system related neuropathy.
What is your current diagnosis? Who is your insurance company?

Actually they can deny paying for it, but not deny the treatment. The insurance is the one paying for the treatment, and they can choose to not pay, depending on what kind of policy the patient has with the insurance. The cost of ivg treatment is extremely expensive, if you thinking about getting treatment by the month, or years. the MD can offer you and give you the treatment but its the insurance thats paying the cost.
