Hi Maria
Was your first onc with the Florida Cancer Specialists? That is exactly what they told me. I am at another place and supposedly my insurance (BC/BS of Michigan) will pay. (Just had first treatment 8/8 so don't know yet). But I did forget to ask if they were particpating providers. D*amn. It seems like there is always an insurance problem. I will have to call them tomorrow. I know there was a problem with BC/BS in the past with them--a local hospital--but supposdedly they got it resolved. And I think the people in charge think I am totally covered but I started worrying about it earlier in the day so I had better call now that you mentioned it since my MRI wasn't covered but my Neulasta shot at the office supposedly is.
Alaska Angel--is there a chance you are covered also?
