PE is probably the most costly treatment because it is not available as a home treatment option.
IVIg can be administered at home for quite a bit less than if done at a hospital or infusion center. However, IVIg is still very costly and could trigger your husband’s Aseptic Meningitis.
SCIg is probably the least expensive treatment and can be administered by you or your husband at home. SCIg is also said to greatly reduce the risk of Aseptic Meningitis. CSL Behring who sells Hizentra, a version of SCIg, has a program called “CSL Behring Patient Assistance Program” where they sell the product at considerably reduced costs. Check it out here:
