So after arguing with my insurance for not covering any of the expense, and now getting DHEC involved (with the insurance co) hopefully I'll get some help. In the mean time thank the lord for good people.
Original cost 400$ per box. After they realized I was having to pay the entire bill the drug store was scrambling to help cut the cost. Cash price ended up being just shy of 1300$
The gentleman at DHEC an I got into the discussion of why the state no longer pays for this being it is genuinely a major public health concern. I mean talk about the walking dead. Think about what would happen if a illegal immigrant had been in my shoes. There is no way they would have jumped through all of the hoops I went through an they certainly would not be paying these exorbitant prices for a vaccine.
Then next thing you know they are infecting half the apartment complex over off Second Loop road. Then we really have a issue. Its a sad day in this country when a insurance co will pay for viagra quicker than a vaccine critical to life. Or the fact states will pay for abortions and not this.
I would say this is something the congress critters in Columbia should address, but it appears Stripers and Flounder are much more important than public safety an roads.
