I think it is WAY high. I believe she must be paying a nurse her yearly salary for doing infusions! Course if it was me, I would be gathering information and links and inundating the ins co with emails!

I do recall our lil Mary telling us that she had a rather high bill for her infusion that her insurance was paying too. But hers was for the big city Boston hospital.

Where are you located Katty?
