Kriss...
TALK TO YOUR ONC NURSE!!!! Mine wouldn't even cover it so I just paid for it out of pocket (had 6 dose dense TEC so times $300 for a 3 day, it cost me $1800...the pharmacy DROPPED when I pd for it, but I needed it so I took it out of my house fund). When my onc nurse found out, SHE got on the phone with the insurance and within 20 min told me to stop by the pharmacy and pick up my refund (my copay was $30 so it ended up costing me $180). These nurses are PHENOMINAL. I think they should have an ONCOLOGY NURSE DAY...i just don't know HOW they do it. Take care and God bless.
