Regarding Insurance denial - I, too, had been denied insurance on an infusion product, prescribed by my Dr., for a very good reason! The Insurance companies have the upper hand, seemingly, these days! I was told that I was to try another medicine, ordered by the Insurance Company, first! This infusion medicine that the Insurance Company wanted me to have ordered, by my Dr. is designed for home care, where the patient has learned how to set up their own i-V infusion, and do it all themselves! If I was younger and able to do that, I might have tried! However, I have had long standing Parkinson’s Disease, for a number of years, where I have a tremor in my hands, both rolling pill tremor, and essential tremor! Additionally, I have had Carpal Tunnel syndrome, from assembly work, from many years ago! Additionally, I have been diagnosed with polyneuropathy, which affects both hands and feet. So, there was a reason why my immunologist prescribed infusion I-V therapy, in a clinic, nurse administered setting! This insurance Company denied approving my receiving infusion within a clinical setting! I appealed, and eventually got insurance coversge elsewhere! The Mayo Clinic analysis and diagnosis of my immune deficiency rare disease condition, and my immunologist’s prescription orders, were eventually recognized by Medicare and a different Supplemental Insurance Company, so that the costs will be covered, and I just recently started infusion I-V therapy, with a needed, very expensive product, after a several months delay, due to the Insurance debacle! I truly needed the infusions A.S.A.P. when first ordered, becsuse my condition was deteriorating! So, I suffered physically, for several months, because of this Insurance denial! Thankfully, I’m starting to feel better now! This last year, I’ve had several Insurance problems, where coverage and treatment of my serious, diagnosed, medical problems, were delayed, because of Administrative changes, by Insurance providers, where coverage was denied! I’m nearly 80 now, and in my entire lifetime, I have never before had to deal with these types of denials, and delays, concerning treatments and coverages, of important, diagnosed, illnesses!!
@foundryrat743 - Oh my goodness!! I'm so sorry you've encountered these hassles and delays, but more importantly, pain while you waited. Thank goodness you persevered and are now receiving the therapy and seeing results. Wishing you continued improvement and relief from all the conditions you're facing!
