Hi,
My friends college age daughter is going to study in Israel for a year and insurance won't cover Remicade treatments. It seems that because it's pre-existing new insurance over there will not allow it either.
Wonder if anyone has any suggestion besides flying home every 8 weeks?

Thanks

Have you tried calling their patient assistance program? it's called remistart. It's tough because she would be insured... if she were uninsured, I would think there would be programs to help but under insured or exclusion is harder to work with. Very frustrating.
