My wife has thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura. (TTP) 9 people out of a million get it so there are few studies. She ehas been through countless rounds of plasmapheresis and 3-4 rounds of chemo. The chemo has to be pre-approved every time.
I have an aortic aneurysm. (5cm) My thoracic surgeon said it is dangerous and he wanted to fix it. Insurance said not to fix it until it reaches 6 cm. 5 cm is the generally accepted fix point. Yet, here we are. Thanks, Cigna.

You're learning first hand why insurance reform is needed but can't get any traction due to the politics involved by BOTH sides of the aisle and the Big Insurance Lobby.
Amen. All of it is horseshite and entire system is broken.

I had a few rounds of Remicade about 20 yrs ago. Guess what? Insurance denied it then also. $2500 a pop. My Dr said it was still $$$. $30k is high. Maybe all total.

They'd know up front whether the insurance would cover the expense or not and if it wasn't covered the doc could start with an alternative treatment to see if it showed results. The dr's office needs to be persistent but firm.
I agree that the denial sucks. It doesnt sound like the doctors office is being proactive enough for you... or being honest with you that about expectations within the policy.
