Ujvira (T-DM1) or trastusumab-emtansine to treat Her2 + CA Breast in adjuvant treatment is prescribed as protocol by treating doctor. Insurer rejects claim on grounds that it is "mono clonal antibody" and hence exceeded sublimits. whereas , its a conjugate biosimilar of the two medicines mentioned above. Can you please clarify?
thanks

Sir it's very kind of you to reply to the query. Not sure whether this medicine is to be treated as monoclonal antibody are a chemo drug.
Thanks for your valuable time

Dear Lalittha,
Monoconol Anitibody is classified under Modern Treatment. Many plans have a limit defined for such treatments. Kindly cross check your plan for sub limits towards modern treatment. Currently it seems the limit has been reached and hence the claim is not paid.
