Guest guest Posted March 20, 2010 Report Share Posted March 20, 2010 Can some of you let me know how your doctors charge for administering Xolair? I just got a bill from the clinic: $76 for the doctor even though he isn't even in the building at the time I get my shots, and $48 x2 for injection therapy, total $172. A month! My insurance company pays $15.70, and the write-off is $74.72. For some reason, the clinic calculated my patient balance as $81.58. Is that a racket, or what??? Of course, I pay $200 every 3 months for my own medication. Is everyone else equally abused by the medical community's way of charging for these shots? Or is there a better way that I could suggest to my insurance company? They don't charge that much for allergy shots. How is this that much different? Do I need to be looking for a new doctor? BTW, I've been on Xolair for about 3 yrs, and it's doing well for me. I just don't know if I can continue to afford it once I retire and end up in the donut hole in the first month : -( Thanks lots, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
