Some patients have been successful in seeking reimbursement for PRRT treatment and follow up. The process varies greatly based on your insurance company and if your policy is offered by the insurance company directly or if the insurance company manages the policy for the company you work for as a "self insured policy."

PRRTInfo.Org is not an insurance site, nor are the writers lawyers or insurance experts.  The content on this site is for informational purposes only. The writers accept no liability if you are unable to get insurance coverage.

There is no universal answers for how to prepare a claim or appeal for PRRT coverage, each case is unique combination of diagnosis, prior treatment, available alternatives and insurance coverage.

Here are some suggested steps.

Understand the claim and appeal process contained in the COI

Virtually no policy covers non - emergency treatment in Europe, which will be used as a reason to deny coverage, your challenge is to get your treatment covered based on medical need per your COI.

Understand your legal rights before you start the process, you can contact the Cancer Legal Resource Center (www.cancerlegalresourcecenter.org) to help you navigate this process at no cost.
