@newwaldenguy, how are you doing? Did you get answers about insurance coverage for your treatment plan? Are you still planning to seek a second opinion?

Hi. Thanks for asking. My insurance covered the medication and I already started. No side effects so far which is great. I am still scheduled for a second opinion and I plan to follow through. That is the good news and I am very grateful to be on oral therapy.

I will need to switch from my COBRA coverage at some point so I will need to do some research with my new coverage. I would hate to switch and then find out the medication is not covered under the new plan after the fact. But I have some time before facing that issue. Seem tricky to get clear answers about medication coverage before signing up with a plan. But once signed up, I will be stuck until open enrollment or qualifying event. Seems a bit backward.

Regards
