Good advice if you have a non-medicare plan...
 
While I am not on medicare, and my insurance coverage clearly allows coverage for IG now, I wonder about the future.
All info in that web site is rite on target. I am very lucky as that my neuro has a staff person that is dedicated to doing the clearances and pre-authorizations...This is a very sticky, picky type of job in that many doc's offices have to deal ...with patients who are in dozens of different plans, each with it's own set of criteria for DIAGNOSIS, Testing requirements then the doc completing a lengthy summary for the NEED for IG or other therapies...some forms are complex, others dorky at best. Some neuro offices do not have or can keep such a staff person. It is a 'removed' and thankless task from that of the patient...= US?
And, let's not forget...that each state, and any insurance's options for service in that state are different and varied? The whole thing well, makes me 'muzzy-minded'!
I for one am seeing my neuro before year-end...just to be up-to-date as to what all is/has been going on with me...and to 'reassure' myself that 'reauthoriztions' are gonna be smooth as silk! I like most of us, do NOT want/need or desire any glitches in my NEW YEAR's treatments? I've been a good camper, got all the bloodwork orders from my other docs [and then some!] and they should be in hand for the neuro when I see him soon. WHEW! I just want the 'maintenance' and continuation of treatment to POOF! Happen? And not worry...Durn, that "worry-bug'! It's the pits! - j
Should I say HO!-HO!? Now?
