Re: HELP!!!!!! Pertuzumab denied by insurance! iN PANIC MODE AND DON'T KNOW THAT TO
Hey Chris. Yes breathe! Aren't there a few insurance people on this board? Seems like something like this occurred several years ago and someone helped her know the wording to get approval. Maybe my head is wacky. But it seems you need an "inside person" to lead the charge. Could you start a thread that says you need help from an insurance person on the board?
Chris, I'll be praying for ALL things to fall into place as quickly as possible so that you can find some peace of mind. Tons of love and prayers headed your way. ma
