First, the cap on many medical plans is $1-2 MM USD (mine is 2) - that drug if needed would kill overall healthcare plan benefit. Use it and nothing else covered. How can they possibly think they are doing the right thing?

Second, what do insurance companies do if the co-pay is not really met (i.e., refunded by the drug seller)? Seems this could be problematic as it could lead to price set at any level with no effective co-pay. I am assuming once drug company gets involved, insurance is no longer good and drug company gets ZERO revenue. Anyone know?
