Hi. Do you have any knowledge whether insurance requires plasmapherisis be tried prior to seeking IVIG approval?

Hi, I know that I didn't have to do it, but you can call your insurer and ask. With BCBS they have a specialty pharmacy customer support so the regular customer support people don't even have access to the right answers. Make sure that you are talking to the people who can give you the real answers. It took me several frustrating calls before I got to the right people.
