Thanks everyone!

I'm going to have these treatments outpatient. With my insurance they state that my co-pay is 20% when done as an outpatient. The IVIG I was receiving is now 33% but I received it at home - so it was only the cost of the drug. The thing is, even at 33% after I'm through the donut hole (I'm now disabled) it will still cost me about $1,000 a month. They make the cost of the IVIG so high that now that I'm disabled no way can I afford it. The thing is the insurance company will now get a hospital bill for surgery so I can get the pheresis. My doctors have tried taking to them but . . . I'm to see the surgeon later today. Let alone all the problem pheresis can cause – you would think they would be smart about it and just wave my co-pays.
