Hi,
My urogynecologist planning to do bilateral PN blocks under anesthesia AND 100 units Botox just to the left coccygeus muscle. Botox recommendation to just this muscle after 3 mos. of pelvic floor therapy with that muscle the most painful --- rectal sitting pain, constipation, tailbone etc.
The PN blocks and anesthesia are covered by insurance. (BC/BC)
The botox not covered - tried w/appeal. Denied. She appealed with literature. Denied.
So, hospital tells me my cost for JUST THE 100 UNITS OF BOTOX. Just the medication itself - everything else is covered -- will be $3,000. The hospital charges $1,500 per 50 units botox.
I was shocked. $3,000 for 100 units Botox?
What do you think? What have you paid just for the botox medication?
Thanks!
