New PET SCAN

[Caring_hubby]

My wife underwent post chemo PET CT and report is good. Still local and main lump almost gone. Mastectomy in 2 weeks. As she is Her2 + she shall be on Herceptin or on biosimilars for rest of the year.

My question this time is whether insurance pays for Herceptin infusion post mastectomy in India ?

I live in U.S. and have no idea about India. Herceptin is an amazing drug.

I'm also in the US, so can't answer this question, but I'm so glad that your wife's scan report was good!

Some insurance companies pay and some don’t (on baseless grounds). Your Medical Oncologist should be able to help you in this, in case they don’t pay. Also, if any issues with payment, we have one gentleman on board who helps people with Herceptin related insurance claims. You can take his help.

Hello Doctor,

We are facing the same issue wrt to insurance claim on herceptin for last 3 years. Can you share the details of the concerned person in your team and how to get in touch.
