I just think that if there is a will, there's a way . . . MOST times anyway.

I tried to appeal it, but the appeals group couldn't understand the problem--they were paying for the treatment, what did I care how much it cost the insurance company? I live in a town that has one hospital and no separate infusion center so my options are limited. I will eventually try again, to get the infusion done at the neuro's office. I tried this before but the insurance wouldn't approve it even though it would have saved them a boat load of money.

Also, from what I've been told, you have to get the infusion done at a place that's in some way connected to your neuro. Has anyone heard different?
