the last time i had a lidocaine IV treatment was almost 4 years ago and the insurance statement showed the cost at about $1200......i did very well on the treatments, but can no longer have them because my hospitalization won't cover them......after having these IV's done 3 or 4 times a year for 5 years and managing beautifully on this routine, my insurance has declared this procedure 'investigational' and won't pay for it.

many insurances no longer cover this treatment because medicare won't, and more and more companies r using the medicare guidelines.

good luck with your plans.
