Insurance company denies a needed PET scan on a patient with brand new diagnosis of pancreas cancer with equivocal CTs and MRIs. Guy pays premiums forever, now he’s got the most serious diagnosis he can get, and they deny his care to “save” 2k.

Everyday the insurance companies get worse, not better.
This is dose dense AC for curable breast cancer, NOT giving immune support (pegfilgastrim) is actual malpractice, and violates every guideline in the business

This is what $1600 (without insurance), months of fighting insurance companies, and hours of dealing with manufacturer coupons looks like. It's a broken system that is designed to make patients and providers give up.

Follow the money. Think how much cheaper healthcare would be without this chicanery! 😵‍💫

Unfortunately, I have no faith in our govt to fix something that the insurance lobby’s dollars in lawmakers pockets helped create.
