I'm curious as to your
I'm curious as to your outcome with the insurance. I am battling a very similar situation. Horizon is denying the Proton Beam radiation for a grade 3 glioma. We just got notified that they denied the claim at the first appeal process. Did you have any luck? Thank you. Wishing you the best.0 -
JerseyGirl - have you won yet?
Keep fighting. I had proton beam radiation in the 1997 for a chondrosarcom of the skull base thru Boston's Massechusetts General hospital but on the Harvard campus. They have since built a new proton beam radiation center on the Mass General campus. Where are you being treated? Can't your provider help you get coverage? Suggest you go online and see if Mass general is treating your kinda tumor and see what they say about insurance coverage.
Where are they getting this "investigational"? Did you get a lawyer? There's always the pro bono clincs.0 -

Don't get how insurance cos can deny proton beam coverage. Is your provider helping you fight this? I got proton beam treatment at Boston's Massechusetts General (Mass General) hospital in 1997 - for chondrosarcoma of the skull base. No problem with insurance. So why are they denying you now? Have you talked to an attorney?0
