Treatment hold up…

I certainly can understand your irritation with your insurance company. While at my worst, basically for 3 years, I had to wait 7 1/2 months for pre-approval for a power chair. I was even unable to sit in a wheelchair at this time, without a plastic tray to hold me up.
But don’t assume that if you were uninsured you would get IVIG; this is a very pricy treatment, & I know in my area, many hospitals are being forced to not even take patients with Medicaid, even losing money on those with Medicare. Luckily my supplement pays for what Medicare doesn’t. Things are only likely to get worse when the new healthcare plan passes. Some 45% of doctors are talking about getting out of the profession, as they are already losing too much money on Medicaid & Medicare patients. Our local hospital is losing over a million dollars each year, because we have so many here on these programs. I am so sorry you had to go through the holidays in such a bad condition, I hope the new year brings treatment & relief for you…
