IVIg is NOT covered!!!!

This is the e-mail I received from RE's office on Monday:

You are correct, the $7355 is your remaining balance due by May 11.

For the IVIG, you will pay for the medication thru the pharmacy - $68-70 per gram, last I heard, closer to $70 – for your first dose during your stimulation portion of your cycle. The price of the actual medication fluctuates all the time. One day it can be at the lower price, the next day at the higher.

It is the supply/demand issue. The infusion portion would be paid to us the day of
your actual infusion. Upon diagnosis of pregnancy is when the second dose of
IVIG will be infused. Payment will be the same.

Outside of your medications for the cycle, you should not have any other charges. ICSI, freezing and storage are included in your Teacher’s Access Plan.

With a positive beta and appropriate rise, we will do OB ultrasound x2. If you know for sure you have maternity coverage, we will file those ultrasounds with your insurance company and it should be covered under your co-pay.

What a bummer!!!!
