Hi Jam,

I had my radiation doctor write a script for the Jevity i feed myself with. It was a must to get enough nutrition and calories to help me heal and gain some weight. The insurance company paid for all of it. Even the syringes to input into the tube. They even delivered it to my door. No charge!
Each can of Jevity had 250 calories and I was inputting 8 to 10 cans per day. I had the tube in for 7 months. I don't even want to know how much that much Jevity would have cost me.
Follow Brians advice and demand your rights for this needed treatment at no cost to you other than mabay a co-pay.

Best Wishes and keep fighting!!! Danny Boy
