Unfortunately, my wife did get a denial from UnitedHealthCare for Herceptin Coverage. She is Stage 1, Her2+++, 1.5cm, ER/PR-, We are in the process of appealing via Stanford Cancer Center where she got the Chemotherapy Treatment. We were told that the cost if we have to pay ourselve could be like at least 17,000 per infusion. It would cost us a whole lot. Can you please let us know where do you get the 500 dollar per treatment? We'd appreciate it.

Thanks.
