Anyone diagnosed later in life?

Ocrevus Price Tag US

The Hospital just issued the bill for my first Ocrevus injection. (10 min procedure plus pre-meds and one hour observation) The sum is close to 300.000$. It’s now passed on to the insurance but I expect a co-pay of around 2.000$-3.000$. How much do you pay? (This was the injection not the infusion)
