@karrows I am 71 and on Medicare but have an Advantage Plan with Anthem and they make the decision on coverage. I have been denied all 4 approaches. Anthem is discontinuing their advantage program at the end of this year, which they should; it has been a real disappointment. I am going with Aetna and they have a great history over all and in approving proton therapy. I will still need pre-approval but very optimistic we will start 28 treatments in early January. I hope everything is going in the right direction for you.
