    Yes, after insurance prices. In this case it’s because their insurance provider told them that they will not cover any of the cost of the $1800 infusion because the one that is out of stock is already approved.

    If you get one of the cheap plans (high deductible health plan, HDHP), you might pay $200 per month depending on how much of the premium your employer covers and then still have to pay $8,500 a year before your insurance provider will cover anything that isn’t considered preventative care buried in the fine print of the policy.

    I went for an annual physical, standard check up and blood work, but my insurance decided the blood tests weren’t part of the physical and tried to bill me $700. Had to appeal it with the insurance company which took several phone calls over a month to get them to void the bill.
