Wow!! I am very interested in this as I have a $8000 out of pocket amount. What I did notice was that last year the cost of my Herceptin was close to $10,000 per infusion and Jan. 2nds was $7,000. So maybe they have cut the cost, still my insurance company, after the negotiated price will pay $4600. That is once I have met the $8000 out of pocket. I am wondering,too, can this be applied to deductibles in some way?
