This as well. We have been fortunate in that Holly's oncologist has a social worker on staff that is really good and knows the system. Not only has she been a real asset in keeping the insurance under control, but she has been able to help us apply and receive several assistance packages.

It's a lot of calls and people to deal with but there are people that care and can help, when you deal with them jsut remember they aren't the ones that are personally billing you but they are the ones that can help, just keep your frustration in check, they know how to work the system to you advantage.
Best of luck!
