There’s more insures out there denying access to MSK? A year+ ago I had a similarly pernicious battle over coverage for cancer-related surgery that isn’t done anywhere closer. (Or readily accessible, trains to NYC run daily close by)If you have access to a PPO plan that'll enable you to get there. |

As opposed to a CT scan, which does.Medicare pays for one per year for me. But I have a leaky heart valve. Without that, they probably wouldn't pay. They last paid my doctor $225 but I think he bills around $500 and they disallow the rest. |

I was just providing information.Lots of other people here are discussing his cause of death. Why don't you call all their posts uncouth and classless as well? |

I'm going for a stress EKG with radiation in 2 weeks. Its a 4 hr procedure. Your heartbeat is artificially increased (no treadmill) to appx 150 beats per minute and your coronary arteries are measured for blockage. My last numbers is that I have a 40% blockage of my coronary arteries. They want to see how much "better" my numbers are.BTW I have to sign a release that if this test kills me, my family cant sue |

Only if we are offered contractual raises which hasn't happened since 1997. Also, retirees do not need to stay in the union in order to receive our pension. I'm still a member. Since 1986. |

As i was not in a union when i retired mi e does not work that way. We usually get a 3% cola adjustment annually but that only applies to the first $18,000.00 The balance was fixed at retirement |
