[quote=Uptown]Don, my numbers are net amounts paid, right from the EOB. My pharmacy amount paid in one month that had chemo, amifostine, neupogen and Kytril IV plus IV Vancomycin was just over $240,000.[/quote]I guess the whole topic of what cancer "costs" is sort of lame in general. There are true cost for compensating providers which varies a lot based on local economies and contracts between providers and insurance companies. Policy holders have true out of pocket costs varying depending on local policies and rules (private vs social insurance) and variance in individual insurance policies.
No wonder the whole health insurance and healthcare business is such a mess and opaque at least here in the USA.
