I know someone who had a baby recently. It was a normal delivery. The hospital charged them $30,000. For now I'm going to calm down and be happy the insurance is willing to pay this outrageous bill.
Maybe I can convince the Neurologist to start doing the infusions at his office.

Thanks for telling us the details. I guess when they say people with insurance pay for people with no insurance, they aren't kidding! Your insurance company is paying for you and someone else!
Either way? Happy to hear you are still on Tysabri and they ARE paying for it!!
