>but your doctor is heavily incentivized to use the new version as the markup on the drug is much, much higher.
I don't think it is normal/usual for doctors to receive any benefits or profits from which drugs they prescribe. Other than golf outings with the drug company reps? Is there something I'm missing?
For drugs administered in office, doctors can markup the cost and insurance pays it. Even Medicare pays 4.3% extra.
For oncologists, it’s most of the revenue for their office since consults pay very little.
The money made on administering $5 worth of ketamine is far less than a $1500 bottle of eskatamine.
