Title: Insurance advice for working Thal adults in the USA?
Post by: Ken DS on April 29, 2018, 01:58:52 AM

New member here! I was wondering if any Thal Major living in the USA has a commercial/employer insurance that is able to cover most of the transfusion and Iron Chelators cost? This is my biggest stress and worry right now

That will all depend on your insurance plan. The higher price gold and blue plans will cover your costs, but you may have a deductible that has to be met first before coverage kicks in.
