Hi Richard! Oh my gosh, I’m sorry to hear you’re in the hospital with a UTI. Those are so nasty and really leave you feeling pretty miserable. Not sure if it’s related to the scope or not but having a compromised immune system can raise the possibility of repeat offenders. That IVIG infusion would give you antibodies to fight infections and diseases with your weakened immune system.

I’m not an expert on Medicare but I looked online for information about IVIG infusion coverage. This article from Ameripharmspeciality.com came up with the list of accepted application codes for IVIG for specific illnesses. Not sure if this will help you or not. It would be nice if you could get that request resubmitted. https://ameripharmaspecialty.com/medicare-ivig-coverage/

I hope you feel better and are back home soon!! Hugs!
Are you on antibiotics now?
