Very sad to hear, prayers sent. Enjoy the time as much as you can, it's a lesson to everyone just how precious life is.

Does she not have insurance?


The 2800 is after all the insurance. The actual drug its self is about 8K a month.

I believe the maximum out-of-pocket under the new ACA law is $6300 per year. That would apply to necessary medicines, too. You might want to check that out.

Does her insurance have an annual max out of pocket per year? I have infusions every 8 weeks that cost $11k. My max out of pocket is around $3k a year. Once I pay that amount I am covered for the rest of the year.

Not to be a dick, but in Europe this wouldn't be an option. Before we shite on our current system, be aware that they don't pay anything for this type of care. Especially in older folks.
