Do you have an out of pocket cap? You should definitly read up on your Insurance ,some have a max out of pocket so that would be great. Also if need be call the Insurance company. I wish you success, this illness is not dealt with properly ith Ins Companys at all. They need to step up to the plate for sure. This is a rampant illness and many times mis-diagnosed for years or a lifetime with young & older women. I hope and pray the Ins Comp's start tpo recognize this and pay for proper procedures. Good luck!!!
