Los Angeles
In August I was diagnosed with colon cancer. My oncology team at Los Angeles Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, and the first starts in November. I was told to expect about 12 weeks away from work. I never imagined I'd be writing something like this. I'm 25, I worked as a shop owner until August, and I have been the main earner for my household. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center 3 times a week, and the income I have lost add up quickly. My family is doing everything they can, but we've already sold what we could and are borrowing for groceries. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $10,450 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $7,500 • Scans and lab work: $710 • Transport to Los Angeles Regional Medical Center: $630 • Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $570 • Household costs while unable to work: $1,040 With deep gratitude, Adrian

                what's already covered and what's the $10,450 for?

                • Adrian G. AllenOwnerAnswer

                  Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. chemotherapy and medication not covered comes first ($7,500) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
