Insurance co. will no longer cover Xifaxan

Former Member

Hi all. Been a while since I've posted here. I've had chronic antibiotic-dependent pouchitis for about 3 or 4 years now following my 2004 colectomy. After much experimentation with different medicines, my doctor and I finally settled on Xifaxan, which has been very helpful. After being on it for about 2 and a half years now, Cigna has told me they won't cover it any longer. I've already filed 2 appeals, both of which were denied. This is really the only medicine that helps keep me in remission, so I'm very concerned at this point. Any suggestions?
