Aetna Coverage ?

[RhondaH]

I know I recently posted something similar, but thought I'd be more specific. Does anyone have Aetna who is Stage 1 NO NODES ( I found a copy of their "position paper" and they say they will cover 1 yr for positive nodes) getting Herceptin for 1 yr through Aetna and are they covering it? Thank you.

Hi, Yes Aetna did cover my herceptin treatments....when I was considered stage I, node negative. Unfortunately, my cancer progressed through treatment so now I'm a stage IV, still receiving heerceptin for the time being and have not had a problem with Aetna thus far. Good luck. I hope you don't encounter any problems. Take care.

Love, Amy

PS. I just looked at your profile...I was also DX on Feb 1, 2005 Hope all has gone well for you.
