My wife just went through chemo treatment for breast cancer and part of the treatment included a neulasta injection they day after the chemo. The hospital was billing the insurance around $38,000.00 per injection. I know medicine is not free, but of all the things that she went through, I found this to be the most ridiculous cost. Is neulasta really that special?

Thank you for the reply. When looking over the last years worth of billing, seeing each chemo session billed at around $13,000.00 and taking half a day to administer vs. this quick little injection the next day I was flabbergasted at the amounts.
