That is less that my insurance provider is charged for my Herceptin.
A three-week dose (infusion) is billed at $3979 USD and paid out in the allowed amount of $3700.

Would be interesting to see what amount each of us is charged and the payout amount. The discrepancies could be VERY telling!

Steph--

I am still on the weekly Herceptin and it is getting billed at about $1400 per time and insurance is paying about $800 and I'm not billed anything.
