@Dr_RShatsky @AnthemBCBS My infant daughter’s treatment for brain cancer was also repeatedly denied by @BlueCrossIdaho Pharmacist reviewers with no oncology experience last summer. The infectious disease pharmacist also did the “Peer”-to-peer. Finally reversed after significant escalation. So awful.

@mattbc @WendyHassonMD I learned that my plan is NOT ERISA as a state employee. I assume this is good news. Our grievance process has been painful and not fruitful (basically denying they did any wrong). I may DM you, Matthew.

@DGlaucomflecken @bluecrossidaho Thanks for sharing our case. Infuriatingly, going through grievance with BCI and received our claim file- realized they denied 3x referencing ADULT @NCCN CNS cancer guidelines. The pediatric NCCN guidelines (supporting targeted tx) were not reviewed…Zoey is a baby. Not an adult.

@shycollie Yes, we applied for this as soon as we got the first denial. Unfortunately Pfizer reviewed and required a long process called “Single patient IND” (takes min 1 month- need to go through FDA and IRB) to approve compassionate care Lorbrena for patients under 18. Dead end for us.

You took away time and energy that we desperately needed to care for Zoey and our family. You took away time from my job taking care of my patients. How will you make this right @bluecrossidaho ? Many looking at you. #StandUpForZoey #StandUpForAll
10/ We must hold them accountable. Accountable to Zoey who deserves this medication for however long HER DOCTORS deem necessary. Accountable for every human in this country equally deserving as Zoey. #StandUpForZoey #StandUpForAll
