The proper IVIG dose for neuropathy is 2 grams/kg of weight. If you are an average male and weigh 180 pounds (about 82 kg), then your dose would be about 164 grams each month. I receive 70 grams for 27K each month. There is no way you will get this for $8K a dose.

Still Hoping's insurance likely denied it due to cost. The 'loading doses' are not as high as the monthly dose, so 25 grams a day (for 5 days =125 total grams) would be appropriate. But the monthly doses are based on 2 grams/kg weight...so it would be closer to the total of the 5 days.

When figuring the cost, it is not just the cost of the IVIG (but that is the bulk), it's the cost to infuse it. If done in a hospital, it's more expensive than an infusion center. The cheapest way to go is in the home with a certified nurse there the entire time.
