Insurance

So back before we started his infusions we were told by the insurance company that his infusions were covered. We found out 1 1/2 weeks ago that that is not the case. As of right now they have been denied. Insurance company says it is not medically necessary and an appeal needs to go to the medical board. Our wonderful Doctor followed up on this for us and we hope it has been cleared up. It still says denied but they told Stanford that it is covered. Keep your fingers crossed since just 1 infusion is $15,000. Yes that is right $15,000 and we have now done 3. We check everyday to see if it has been paid. Everything is on hold right now waiting to see what happens. He has gotten better with the infusions and we do not want to stop and have him go backwards. I will keep you posted.

This is my way of sounding out his condition. It took me forever to try and say it and this is how I break it down.
