Those numbers are from 2007.
The prices have increased dramatically. (Because, why not? They can get away with it.) Of course, it varies, depending on "a number of factors"

Regardless, since the treatment course is one vial per 8 weeks even if it were it is still not $19,000/month, it would be half that.
Edit: I fail at math. One vial per infusion was based on 1mg per kg. The usage is 5, so a typical infusion would need 4 - 5 vials. Still less than $19,000/month using the cash price, and far less using the GoodRX discount.
