Default IVIG Maintenance Insurance Denial Update

Just as fyi for others concerned about getting approval...my insurance denial was initially based on insurance company position that IVIG for maintenance was experimental and investigational. My doctor said he was surprised that was basis although he had seen denial when basis was claim of disagreement with a doctor's diagnosis (that was not my case).

My doctor was finally able to connect with Aetna and he challenged/appealed the denial and now they have approved for four treatments. US Bioservices is now in process of setting up home infusion with local company in Fort Lauderdale - I hope it is a fast process as my condition has been getting progressively worse the last four weeks - but who knows, seems everything takes so long so I will do what I can and wait. :-)
