Hi Sue, IVIG was one of the considered treatment options for me (I've got relapsing Devic's), but we opted for Rituxan (My insurance doesn't cover it either.), so I'm not sure what the insurance considerations for IVIG might me.

Her doctor is recommending IVIG (intravenous immune globulin), but her insurance company did not approve payment. What documentation have you found works for patients who have been prescribed IVIG? Thank you, Carol ___________________________ Carol Dagney
