So I spent this summer dealing with skin cancer and while my out of pocket was only about $20,000 the bill was well into the six figure range and this was just getting cut up not chemo or any other drug. We saw the same thing with the drug for hepititus, when it came out it was $100K and insurance companies were refusing to pay and now it's something like $30K so prices drop quickly once it becomes normalized.
- vostok 4y agoWould you be willing to share why you were charged $20k? I'm interested in projecting my health care expenses in retirement and I've heard of healthcare costs exceeding out of pocket max, but it's rare that I get to actually ask!

- vostok 4y agoThank you for sharing. I didn't realize that insurance wouldn't cover or reimburse you for out of network once you are over the out of pocket max.
