Cost is rarely paid attention to when you are dealing with a disease. But If you are anything like me costs are important and need to be known.
Here is some info that I have found. In recent analysis of health insurance records of individuals under the age of 65 2.5% of 5 million surveyed had Atopic Dermatitis. Now that may not seem like allot until you count the cost of the insurance payments of these individuals.
Now the annual insurance payments for medical care for Atopic Dermatitis ranged from $580.00 to 1250.00 dollars. This was for each patient.
What than translates to is more than one quarter of each patients health care costs were for atopic Dermatitis and that is staggering.
The projection is to be a billion a year in the future which is monumental.
