You know I always hear these nightmares about health ins. co and trying to get stuff covered but I have never had an issue with any of them. I my daughter while at college came down with this rare blood disorder (she is just fine now) the doctors tried several things and nothing worked. They decided to give this one treatment through I/V which cost $5,000 per bag and forgot to get approval from the ins. co.. They sent a rejection letter back for a claim of $36,000 because the doctor did not get prior approval and this was still in the exspermental stage. Doctor wrote them back and paid the bill in full.
