Re: IVIG Reimbursement

[btison]

It has been given as an off-label use for CFS.  The majority of IVIG is
given for off-label indications, so that shouldn't neccesarily negate
reimbursement.  But it is far too spendy a med to not check it out with a
pre-auth first.

Does anyone know if IVIG would be reimbursed for a Dx of Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome?
