The dreaded Synagis (RSV) season will be here before we know it. Why is it so dreaded..??? Well not only because it is terrible to see such sick kids, but the never ending battle of wills with INS companies will begin. We recently received a notice explaining who qualifies for only a 3 dose series vs a 5 dose series. Luckily in the office I work at the rep for Synagis is actually very helpful, and I think he goes above and beyond when we run into problems with ins companies. Anyone else find it ridiculous how "at risk" these kids have to be to get this med? I know it is very expensive, but come on so many children who really need it are rejected. We had parents last year who were going to sell their wedding rings to pay for their child's Synagis.

I can only imagine how much harder it is going to be this year.
