Congrats on getting accepted medically!

Now the drama begins with health insurance. If your father's BC/BS won't cover it, your best bet is to see if you can get coverage where you work (and if you can, will that insurance company cover this procedure).

At the same time you may want to check on your IVIG and current drug therapies. Will BC/BS cover that?

If you are unable to get coverage through a Group Policy.. then you may really have a struggle. Individual policies won't cover MG (at least in my state), so that means the high risk pool where the premiums are incredibly expensive, the deductibles very high, and the coverage is very conditional!

I'm in a high risk pool (having been denied coverage by every insurance company you think of because of MG) and constantly question if it's worth it!!

Maybe you can work something out with the trial group -- do they have a sponsor? What about MDA Foundation...maybe they could help.

Good Luck with all this - there's got to be a way....you just have to find it!!
