Michael Costanzo, a Colorado farmer diagnosed with multiple
sclerosis in 2016, has a well-honed ritual: Every six months, he takes an IV
infusion of a medicine, Rituxan, to manage his disease, which has no cure.
Then he figures out how to manage the bill, which costs thousands of dollars.
For a time, the routine held steady: The price billed to his health insurance
for one infusion would cost $6,201 to $6,841. Costanzo’s health insurance
covered most of it, and he paid the rest out-of-pocket. |
