You never pester...currently the monoclonals are being given for free. Due to some idiot bureaucrat I cannot administer it to an inpatient as it has been determined they do not meet criteria. I have discharged patients who are hospitalized but on the floor (not in the ICU) to get infused, and they have done beautifully.
There is no reason that a patient in the hospital who meet criteria (Positive test, symptomatic, and under 10 days from the onset of symptoms) should not be availed this cutting edge, life saving therapeutic that actually works.
Given recent reports that President Trump’s condition was actually worse than originally reported, and the fact that he himself called his monoclonal antibody therapy a miracle drug, it seems these should be much more widely available.
To answer the original question, most of the cost estimates I’ve seen ranged from $1,100 - $1,500 per treatment. So not cheap, at least not today. But a basic VCR cost $1,000 or more when new at one point too.
