My insurance pays the infusion center $7500.00 +-
The infusion center bills the insurance co. $10,000.00 +-
$7500.00 of that bill is for the drug and the rest is for the infusion services.
Ins. Co. has their payment broken down at 6500.00 for the drug and $1000.00+- for infusion.
It's still too much for the drug in my book! I spoke with a rep from the ins. co. and asked WHY they are paying that much when they could just order the drug and ship it to the infusion center for a MUCH lower price. She couldn't understand why it bothered me so much when I wasn't paying the bill, they were. I reminded them of my lifetime cap and told her to do the math and then add in MRIs and regular medical visits and tests.
sigh...
