can people chime in as to what insurance companies they have and what troubles

[Lani]

they do/ don't have getting them to cover IV meds, oral meds, scans, MRIs etc

In light of blue shield of California's decision to stop covering avastin for breat cancer, gathering this information and dispersing it seems all the more essential.

Let's try to make a paper trail so those whose employers offer a smorgasbord of insurance choices or a change of insurance in January can have a feel for which insurance companies have been naughty or nice!

May be a great way to try to get some accountability/ compare what is usually difficult to compare.

May help get companies to cover oral meds like lapatinib when they realize what their competitors do/don't do. I know it might depend on which of thousands of different policy types of any one insurance company one might have, but still thought this might be useful.

Having great info doesn't help if you can't get insurance company to pay for
treatment...

Thanks in advance to all who contribute.
