44. The monoclonal antibodies is and infusion...

I really see excellent outcomes with the early onset treatment interventions...In the 10 day window...

Here is a list of treatment modalities:

SNIP>
Monoclonal antibody treatments: The FDA has issued Emergency Use Authorization for two investigational monoclonal antibody treatments that can attach to SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19. These antibodies could help your immune system recognize and respond more effectively to the virus.

These treatments have been authorized for patients with mild to moderate cases. This includes those who have had symptoms for 10 days or less, who are 12 years of age and older, and who are at high risk for progressing to severe COVID-19 and/or hospitalization. It also includes people who are 65 years old or older, and for people who have certain chronic medical conditions. Learn more about antibody treatments with: etesevimab and bamlanivimab or casirivimab and imdevimab.


The Casirivimab-Imdevimab...also known as REGEN-COV is the one I see used most often at this time...

There is no cost for the antibodies themselves, but the facility may charge for the infusion (giving the treatment by IV). Medicare covers the IV treatment costs, but Medicaid coverage is different in each state. Many large private insurance plans cover all costs, but you should check with yours to find out for sure. If you do not have insurance, ask the treatment facility if there are any fees....END>
