Getson charges $1,250-$1,500 a day, depending on what's in your drip. His protocol is 10 day outpatient, followed by 2 days a week for a month, followed by 1 day a week for a month. I assumed a worse case scenario - $1,500 a day, for a total of 22-23 days, and rounded $33,000-$34,500 to $35,000. (The least amount that the bill would be is $1,250 times 22 days equals $27,500)

I don't know what portion of his bill is doctor's fee vs. meds.

My initial consultation fee was $400. I have already figured that I'll never see that again.

The 10 day is $4,500 not including the dr's fees which my insurance will cover the dr's. Just wondering who gave you the price of $35,000? Did you see Dr. Schwartzman?
I was told that the price for the boosters is $200.00
