What Part D insurance do you have?
April 11, 2019 at 4:06 pmDSfritz1,
A friend has United Healthcare Medicare Advantage as a retiree from the State of Georgia. He gets home infusion through Part D, but I think there is a copay. I think the hospital or infusion center is a better option so that Part B and the supplement will take care of the cost. The test you’re referring to, I believe, is called an EMG. That was the first test I had, plus a lot of blood work and then a lumbar puncture to diagnose the CIPD. I’m scheduled to have my first infusion next Monday at the hospital as an outpatient. It’s good to know that your treatment is working.
April 10, 2019 at 1:11 pmThank you DSfritz1 for the info. That confirms what I’ve been thinking that infusion at home would leave a lot of out-of-pocket cost since Part D doesn’t usually cover the full cost of meds. It’s good to hear that Part B does cover it, and I do have a supplement policy as well, which should cover the balance. I’m curious if you don’t mind telling me, what Part D company did you have a policy with? My Part D is Humana Enhanced; they denied coverage initially and the subsequent appeal as well. Thank you for the info about Part B.
