Four years ago I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I went through surgery, radiation and reconstruction. My insurance, Blue Cross/Blue Shield, paid for everything except a few small co-pays. (Our insurance is also through the university my husband teachers at.) I've also never had an issues paying for the follow-up cancer medicine. Your friend should not be going through this. The fact is her insurance may NOT max out. She should call her insurance company and check on coverage. Sounds like there are a lot of assholes working for that hospital, who just want to intimidate people. Maybe she should check into another place to get treatment. All my best to your friend. She has a some tough times ahead, depending on the Stage, etc., of her cancer. No way should she have to worry about money on top of everything else!
Edit: Should have read the rest of this thread first. Others have already offered helpful suggestions. Oh, and the phrase you were looking for above was "nurse navigator."
