Neulasta Cost

After my trip to Arkansas, I had several insurance EOBs that had come in the mail.  The little shot I receive the day after chemo - Neulasta - costs $9,500 a pop!!!  Yes, you read that correctly.  It's almost 3 times the cost of the chemo itself.  I am so grateful to God for medical insurance.  Now, I wonder what on earth happens to those without?

What on earth does that "little shot" do to cost so much?????
I remember freaking over the cost of Zofran during one of my pregnancies, i think it was $20 a pill or something. I can't imagine how anyone could pay for the cancer meds w/o insurance. Yikes.

Hi Karen...Hope you are feeling well after that shot. I hear it knocks off your feet. I too am thankful for our insurance. My first bill was $46,000. I was blown away. Take care!
