What to do when health insurance denies CAR T treatment

Posted by cjj2 @cjj2, Dec 11, 2024

My husband’s chemo for multiple myeloma is no longer working. The oncologist’s request for CAR T was denied by health insurance. The oncologist’s appeal was also denied. The oncologist is a top researcher in multiple myeloma. Stem cell replacement was another option, but has much more downtime and associated side effects which my husband feels is unacceptable since he is still working full-time. Any suggestions for us?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) & CAR-T Cell Therapy Support Group.

Hi, Colleen,
Thanks for your message.
To answer your question, I’m hoping you can read my response to NT Simpson.
In general, my husband and I are doing okay. We’ve had some serious discussions about the future, which I assume everyone with cancer does at some point. I will suggest the idea of seeking help from an oncology social worker.
Thanks for your help.
