Thanks JK for the info. I’ve tried to do my own homework, but end up more confused. I’ve spent more time on trying to figure out if Medicare will cover IVIG for CIDP. The real trick is the P in CIDP. There’s a difference if it stands for Polyneuropathy or Polyneuritis. Right now as it stands my infusions will not be covered by Medicare. My neurologist does not work out of a hospital with infusion facilities nor does he have a clinic for it. I have the Polyneuropathy. What state are you in?

Sandy, what I’m finding out is that if you get IVIG for CIDP and get it as an outpatient at a hospital or clinic, not at home,they bill Medicare part A. Then your supplemental covers the part Medicare does not cover. You should check with your doctor about having it done as an outpatient. I’m in Michigan.

I just found out from my infusion company that Medicare does not cover IVIG for CIDP. Now what do I do?? I live in Michigan. She did mention that it might cover IVIg if I get it done as an outpatient at a hospital, I’ve been getting it done at home and start on Medicare in July. That makes no sense, it would cost more to do it at a hospital than at home. That’s the government wasting our tax money. If you get it done at a hospital how do you get the medicine??? More questions than answers.
