NorCal CarciNET Community joins others in the medical community objecting to Humana's decision to deny coverage for most PET and SPECT procedures starting on February 4, 2021. The NET community relies on PET imaging to better understand our disease and to establish if we are candidates for PRRT therapy. 

We hope others will join us and let Humana know that this policy is endangering the health of those with NETs and diseases.
