The new infusion center will be charging the same amount as the previous one afterwards. Hence, the financial burden of Tysabri will remain in place.
Is it only certain infusion centers that are charging this much, Vic?

If so, why are they charging so much more then anywhere else? Are these two infusion centers owned by the neuro practice, or ?

What makes the difference in what each of them charge . . . profit?

Can you not go to yet another infusion center?

This is too bad.
