Ouch! That's one of the bad things about the NHS, you don't know what you've cost them! Well maybe that's a good thing?!
It wouldn't even be close to that though....I'm honestly gobsmacked at that figure [emoji15]

This year the total cost Cigna paid for my crohn's care was $55,000 (I rounded it off). Treating my migraines involved an additional insane $10,000.
One hospitalization
Multiple doctor visits
One capsule endoscopy
Several CT scans and X-Rays
One colonoscopy
It's been a long year.
Current Crohn's Meds:
Entocort 9 mg
Dexilant 2x60 mg
Linzess 290 mcg
Metaclopromide 5 mg as needed
Promethazine 25 mg as needed

I took Humira weekly, which I think would have cost insurance about $96k. One MR-enterography, 2 colonoscopies, 2 ER visits, doctor visits, etc, and so I think the total is probably ~$110k. Mainly Humira is the big cost.
Have you looked into Remistart,?
yeah. that doesn't affect the 139k billed to insurance. it just covers my $250 copay for the drug (not the infusion center fee).
