$53000

Just saw that charge on my patient portal site for the hospital on Rituxan fail day.  Now obviously that isn't the final negotiated rate.  But $53000.  That's pretty incredible.  Unbelievable.

Not to get into any political discussion, but that number just made my jaw drop.

Thank God for excellent insurance.  I pay.....nothing.
