Jan 15 - New Insurance Info & shot

Received my next Neulasta shot today. Seems like I will be getting this shot with every treatment, which costs around $5,000 - $7,000 per shot. THANK GOD FOR INSURANCE!!!

So I was with Kaiser in 2009. Their customer service was a pain but payments were a breeze. I had a total of 4 surgeries and almost all expenses were co-pay which ended up costing around $1,300 for the entire year.

Now I am with Aetna as a PPO. Up to this date I have seen the doctor 4 times and now I am already at my out of pocket max for the year, $1,500. Amazing that I hit that amount after just a few visits although my situation is a little different. The PET scan alone is around $8,000.

Overall it's a pain to come out of pocket this much in January already but it's better than the alternative I guess.
