Has anyone had IVIG Infusions for Neuropathy?

I am trying to navigate IVIG for CIDP and Medicare coverage. My wife has a Medicare Advantage plan that she signed up for when she was declared disabled a couple of years ago. She is turning 65 in a few months and I would like to have her change to original medicare and a supplement plan like I currently have. She gets IVIG infusions every three weeks Gamunex-C. The infusion is done at her doctors office (they have a room with a few chairs for infusions) It is being billed under Part D and we are receiving copay help from the pharmacy that is providing the drug. What steps would she have to take in order to get coverage under Part B.

Welcome @biker201, Medicare can be confusing and I'm always struggling with decisions. There is another discussion on your question that you might find helpful:
--- CIDP, Diagnosis, Treatment, Insurance - Medicare and Medicare Part D: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/cidp-diagnosis-treatment-insurance-medicare-and-medicare-part-d/.

Also, Medicare has a page on your question here:
--- Join, switch, or drop a Medicare Advantage Plan: https://www.medicare.gov/sign-upchange-plans/types-of-medicare-health-plans/medicare-advantage-plans/join-switch-or-drop-a-medicare-advantage-plan.

Some local senior groups offer assistance working through some of the common medicare questions and concerns. Have you looked into any local groups that offer medicare information?
