Title: Cluster headaches

Why is it so hard to get Insurance to pay for O2 for this?

Tom what insurance do you have? What's your prescription amount, and how many tanks do you go through a month?

It varies among Insurance co,s. Some won't cover it for CH, some you need a letter of Medical neccessity, and sometimes it's the way the Rx is written.

Giving them a call can help find the answer(s).

Best of Luck, Don

Because they're not in the helping business...they're in it for the money. And our O2 use, while helpful, will not come to an end unless our cycle does. lance
