If the mentioned drug for your mother is given along with regular chemotherapy drugs then it will be approved by the insurance company, if it is given seperatly it will be refused by the insurance company, Get a letter from your oncologist and attach it along, it may work, I got my insurance claim from New india assurance co, best of luck
No even with chemotherapy they didn’t approve . They told monoclonal antibodies so they can’t cover it 🙁 even with oncologist letter
