My MediGap (supplemental) plan, Regence, is increasing this year by 22%. Medicare is also increasing but not by as much. Thanks, MAGA lunatics!
It makes me think about quitting it. But if I get sick with lymphoma again, how much would it cost me, beyond the 80% Medicare would pay?
I had no idea so I tried to look it up. So 20% of the probable maximum of $141,000 would be $28,000. I would save almost $3,000 by not paying for Regence. Health insurance in this country is such a guessing game! I guess I better stick with Regence.
Studies on Dose-Adjusted R-EPOCH (DA-EPOCH) show costs often exceed $100,000 for the full treatment, which includes medications (rituximab, etoposide, prednisone, vincristine, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin) and administration.
It would be more for in-hospital treatment, perhaps $141,000.
