Yes, it's a nIV infusion done in a setting similar to chemo, lots of monitoring during tx. cost approx $900/tx...$500 for drug and $400 for infusion services. Special training to do it. Pts have it done routinely sometimes, weekly or every other week or monthly, so when we consider admits we take this into consideration.
