I have had several doctors in the Plano area and have not been happy with any of them. I was wondering if anyone has a suggestion for a good doc in the Plano/Frisco area. I have CIDP (diagnosed about 4 years ago - but I think I have had it for about 20 years. I had a great doc in Houston, I have been going there once a month for IVIG infusions. My insurance plan changed this year and my payment for each treatment will be $1000, Can;t afford that. Thank you for any suggestions.
Hi, check out Patient and Provider Support Room. Some of the members have had the same problem as you regarding the co-pay of $1000. Perhaps they can make some suggestions. Good luck. I also find it hard to find a Doc who really knows about CIDP and IVIGs.

My doc is in Houston. I did find out that if I go through my Specialty Pharmacy (Acreedo), the cost is $80. A nurse will come to my home. My doc in Houston is willing to write the orders. This might be something that others should look intol
