Insurance approval for Xolair

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone.

My doctor has been trying to get my insurance company (Blue Cross of MA) to

approve Xolair for me. I received a note from Blue Cross today denying the drug

because my IGE is too high. The test they referred to in their letter showed

my IGE at 1010 and the approved range is up to only 700. However, they seem to

have ignored my more recent test (done in November, when I was less allergic

than my test from last June) for which my IGE was 680, within the approved

range. Has anyone else been denied because their IGE was too high? I'm hoping

that they'll approve it once I resubmit my newer test results.

Best,

Meryl
