On an after thought...Maybe some of the problems you are having are because of the contract between your insurance and your provider. Not that that makes it right, it's just a thought i.e. My weekly Herceptin/Taxol treatments were billed at $1600/$1300 respectively. I think on the Herceptin the insurance paid like $950 and on the Taxol (get this) $40. I about fell out when I saw that. The way my insurance contract works with the hospital is that the hospital writes off the difference but what a difference $1300 vs $40. I don't understand how that can be correct and worry that it in the long-term affects care and it makes me mad since I don't think that's right but then how can you ever figure out hospital/insurance billing if the cost is all-over-the-place and deals like the above are struck. Maybe your provider has just lost too much money on you due to your insurance (not your fault just as it is not my fault). That's just a thougth (and a worry that has crossed my mind before in my situation though I love my onc). Benadryl IV though should not be expensive. I can look up on my bill how much it was but you could offer to pay (if you are financially able) if that would help the situation.
