I also agree. My wife has brain cancer and we were just approved for CPT 11+ Avastin which is not FDA approved. We were warned that we may have challenges with the insurance company but our doctor's team got it approved in a few days and her appointment is tomorrow. The total costs of this treatment is $20,000 each treatment x every 2 weeks. The doctors handled everything including getting the medical records, persistantly calling the insurance company, etc.. I agree with the previous posting and find a doctor's office that will help expedite the approval process. It is a lot to handle on your own and you may hit several delays dealing with the stalls from the insurance company.
Best wishes to you,
