Re: Its The Herceptin Price is Right Game Again
Shelia, All I can say is that's HIGH! My gosh...I know it's been a while since I've had Herceptin...but I am pretty darned sure my insurance was billed $3000 (something) every infusion. I will have to dig up the the bill to find the exact amount for you.
I have to say I am impressed with the way you contacted the Attorney General...you GO GIRL. Another complaint does sound in order. (It's been 3 yrs since I had Herceptin...maybe prices have went way up?) Can't wait to see what others are charged. (Like your new picture...love the hair.)
