Am I just apathetic. Do I just not care? I’m not sure. I just have not been in a posting mood of late. That is a shame as I do have lots to say. We are starting to get EOBs from insurance for my chemo treatments in December. I guess they take awhile to process. Well, I can certainly understand why insurance balked at the rituxan. I would even understand if a doctor, rather than an accountant, balked at it. One dose (500ml) is $12,495. That is somewhere in the neighborhood of $90,000/gallon. How would you like to fill up your car with that? Now insurance did approve the drug, and I am receiving the drug. I just can understand, just a little bit, as to why they did a double take the first time. The total bill for each round of chemo is about $16,000. Add in all rounds of chemo, multiple CT scans, PT scans, the medi-port….this cancer will cost insurance about what I paid for my first house. As much as I hate insurance at times, it is a good thing. I think the system is broken and needs to be fixed, but it is a good thing.
