dcmom Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 I am considering taking my kids to see Dr B. We are considering IVIG at some point. We already see a couple of pandas docs, but neither take any insurance. Dr B does take our insurance. I have a few minor questions, please PM me.... Was Dr B helpful in getting your insurance to cover IVIG? Does he use Gammunex brand IVIG? What dosage does he typically do? Does he pre-medicate? Thx Eileen
lynn Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Hi Eileen Dr. B is very good (probably the best) at getting insurance coverage. I'm pretty sure he uses Gammunex (not 100%, but that's what I seem to see my notes saying. Last year he was doing 1.5 (HD) don't know what he is doing now. He is great at premedication--prednisone, benedryl and ibruprofen two days before, during, and 2 days after. Good luck!
mkur Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 Dr B took care of the insurance for us. We didn't have to do anything except pay for the deductible.
beeskneesmommy Posted May 23, 2011 Report Posted May 23, 2011 I just made an appt. with Dr. Bouboulis today. He is seeing us in late July. I am so glad for this forum and to find so many others that have information to pass along. Thank you.
