Often the "sticker price" is just a negotiating chip. Big drug co's and big pharma have a byzantine relationship of price hikes and rebates. I wouldn't be surprised if the price the insurer pays is not materially higher than the original $3K.
- supergeek133 10y agoThat could be true, she has chosen to pay for the compound version with cash more than once, and the price is $3k. It provides much more relief than the packaged version. Obviously on the EOB from the insurer, they show they paid the same price the pharmacy communicates. That's pretty crazy if the TRUE price is obscure Not sure on the packaged version price if cash was paid..
- pkaye 10y agoMy guess is the insurer will get a rebate at the end of the year from the drug manufacturer based on volume discount.
- supergeek133 10y agoProbably a safe assumption.
- pg_is_a_butt 10y agosheeeeeeeeeeeit, i wouldn't be surprised if the price was less than the $100 copay, and the insurer pockets the difference on top of your premiums. you're all idiots.
