Don't forget the difference in types of insurance, whether it is a self pay or employer sponsored, the state you live in and what their insurance field looks like, etc, etc, etc.
We tried to do a comparative analysis and ran into the problem that you truly CANNOT compare costs unless everyone is going to the same infusion center in the same state at the same time! Even then the variable of insurance plans skewed the data so badly that it couldn't be compared. Everyone has a different type of insurance plan and they all cover costs differently, as they all negotiate different levels of payment. People who do not have insurance and use state medicaid plans all have different levels of coverage and my brain isn't big enough to try to figure it all out!
