Our Rx provider charges the insurance company $2341.17 for 28 day Rx Tysabri.
The insurance carrier pays for the entire amount.

Our Neurologist's infusion center charges $578.00 for the infusion and
the insurance company pays $201.96 which he accepts as payment in full
as a 'participating' doctor. We have zero 'out of pocket' expense.

We don't understand the disparity.
How could a Maine or California Neurologist/Infusion Center charge so much
for the exact same same treatment?

Supply & demand?
Lack of Neuros and infusion centers?
Gouging?
The Governator?

It just doesn't make any sense and it just doesn't seem fair.
