Getting IVIG Paid for with Good Immune System

[Christianmom]

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on how to get IVIG paid for when my son has no immune deficiency. His only problems are strep and mycoplasma which have both been treated, so even those titers are normal now. All bloodwork is coming back normal. We are waiting for results from the Cunningham test.

Hi C-Mom

 

i have to think that, if your son has pandas, he for sure doesn't have a "good" immune system, even if the Ig tests come back in the normal range. The definition of pandas is an autoimmune process, so you can at least try coding for that with your insurance.

 

good luck with it.

Hi Amyjoy,
