Mepowers,
That is great news . I found the department at City of Hope and the Doctors to be masterful at getting my treatments what is called "Medically necessary". I was denied a procedure after my mastectomy to expander surgery, so my plastics Dr called the insurance doctor. It was approved. Now I need to contact them about the cost of my future bone marrow transplant.

Katgob, the insurance companies are brutal. I know so much about fighting them now vs when I got sick. Sounds like the City of Hope stepped in for you just like Mayo did for me. It’s a shame that people have to deal with being sick and fighting, begging and pleading with the insurance companies too.
