I don't know if you are in 'the States' or Canada or what insurance, but we, fortunately, have had no trouble with the Neulasta being covered every time - it was always at the end of the infusion - a button attached to the arm. Through all 6 infusions, our blood counts were reasonable.

We are in the US and were at a cancer center in Indianapolis. At the time my husband was covered by Anthem BCBS and our university health care policy. The oncologist's nurse said it was SOP for the insurer to not automatically cover Neulasta.

Well my oncologist told me he would have to get it approved so hopefully I'll get it for my second infusion. It sure makes you feel bad when your WBC is low.
