Sorry, one more important note. After my biopsy pathology report I wanted to change to a comprehensive cancer center. Mayo Clinic, Memorial Sloan Kettering, MD Anderson are all good. I was closest to MDA, 3.5 hrs away.
MDA said they did not take my insurance 🙁 but suggested I ask my insurance co. I did, and they said they’d cover me, it might be at out-of-network fees. My UHC Medicare advantage coverage has paid for everything so far at in network costs. Wanted to share, in case your friend also is told that there’s no coverage for care.
