HI Mindmatter!
Welcome to our great forum here.
I am one of the lucky ones as far as IVIG is concerned. I've maxed out my Aetna insurance the first cpl months of this year in the search of where my pain was coming from. So after we discovered I had PN and my dr. recommended IVIG Aetna is fully covering the cost...which mine is $8,888 a week!! Outrageous!!...oh plus the nurse fees and other tag on costs.
My insurance gets re issued Jan. 1 and all my co pays and co insurance costs start over and I'll be where you are then.....and I'm not looking forward to going in debt for my treatments.
I know there's lots of others on this site who get IVIG infusions.......Hey gang, can you help this person with the IVIG questions??? Thank you!!
I hope you can figure out a way to get the infusions because they are helping me. I've had 10 so far. Good luck to you!!
