That is a self-respect that I am highly suspicious of. Per the dosing guidelines[1] one vial should be enough for one infusion for just about anyone. Per GoodRX linked from the page you linked[2], the inflated cash price is $3500/vial. This, I don't see how $19,000 for one infusion is remotely accurate.
Regardless, since the treatment course is one vial per 8 weeks even if it were it is still not $19,000/month, it would be half that.
Edit: I fail at math. One vial per infusion was based on 1mg per kg. The usage is 5, so a typical infusion would need 4 - 5 vials. Still less than $19,000/month using the cash price, and far less using the GoodRX discount.
