Does Medicare or Insurance Cover Treatment for Candida Auris?
Candida Auris is majorly treated with a group of drugs known as echinocandins. The insurance coverage for this drug usually depends on the type of echinocandin your doctor prescribes, and whether it is a brand-name or generic description.
Without any insurance, prices usually begin at an average of about $50 per injection. Your doctor may prescribe multiple injections to treat an infection. For other treatments, certain factors like your region, if you are receiving any other treatment, and how long you will be hospitalized are considered.
