Merry Christmas from BC/BS

Blue Cross Blue Shield sent me greetings12/16. Told me they would no longer pay for the avastin that has been keeping my cancer at bay. And they were not paying for July-Dec treatments. Each treatment cost $10,165. With treatments every three weeks, August, for instance, had two treatments that month. I get to write a letter protesting their action. And then they will let me know what they decide. Ho Ho Ho. Since the FDA disapproved the use of avastin for breast cancer, I thought having ovarian cancer made me exempt. No, BC/BS is refusing the drug for ovarian, breast and respitory cancers (lung). Even though the study it is based on was only on breast cancer. I put a call into my doctor at Mercy as I can't keep running up this kind of debt. Can you imagine how many people all over the country this impacts?
