Re: Update, good news, bad news

Tracy,

Glad to hear the news about your scans! I'm still shocked about Aetna denying H&P. I feel like I must be missing something. You were receiving H&P on Aetna insurance and then for no reason they just sent you a letter stating they were no longer going to cover it? It just seems so unbelievable that I'm wondering if I missed something along the way. A lot of us do have Aetna insurance (myself included) and H & P were covered. You need this drug regardless of how much it costs. It seems Aetna would have to pay for it. I'm just shocked that this could happen.

I know you'll keep pressing to get this worked out. It is just such a shame that you need to fight to get what you need.

Take Care,
Brenda
