Wow.

I'm just shocked at those prices! I know we have had this conversation before. What stuns and upsets me is the incredible variation in terms of how the drug is dispensed and infused and what people must ultimately pay out of pocket. I buy my Tysabri through my Rx plan so my insurance plan pays out the $2399. Then I have to pay my Rx co-pay which is reasonable since is is not through "medical." Then the specialty pharmacy ships my Tysabri vial to the doctor's office. Then my doctor bills my insurance for $498 to infuse the thing. I pay my doctor visit co-pay to have them infuse. I feel lucky.
Those infusion clinics are making a killing. There is just something so wrong with that.
Well now I'm going every other month so it will be even cheaper. I just remembered I have to make sure my specialty pharmacy doesn't keep sending it once a month or I will end up with extra vials.
