Growth hormone injection cost calculator

This English page follows the Korean pediatric growth-hormone guide for indication, weekly dose per kilogram, daily or weekly product price, benefit eligibility, rare-disease reduced copay, annual weight gain, clinic monitoring cost, tax credit, and multi-year projection.

Dose and drug price basis

Daily growth hormone price is KRW 14,000 per mg and weekly growth hormone price is KRW 18,900 per mg in the source assumptions. The calculator multiplies price per mg by indication-specific weekly dose, body weight, and 4.345 weeks per month.

Idiopathic short stature non-covered daily treatment for a 30 kg child is about KRW 730,000 per month before clinic costs. Weekly treatment at the same weight is higher because the weekly product price per mg is modeled at 1.35 times the daily product.

Annual clinic monitoring cost is KRW 300,000 when included. The yearly projection also increases weight by the selected annual weight gain, so later years can cost more than the first year.

Coverage and copay

Covered indications are growth hormone deficiency, Turner syndrome, chronic renal failure, Prader-Willi syndrome, small for gestational age, and Noonan syndrome. Idiopathic short stature is modeled as non-covered self-pay.

Rare-disease reduced copay is 10 percent, normal covered copay is 30 percent, and non-covered treatment is 100 percent self-pay. The calculator compares those three coverage modes for the same drug-cost basis.

Medical expense tax credit uses the 3 percent salary threshold and 15 percent rate. The tax refund is calculated year by year across the selected treatment period.

How to use the result

The result includes total drug cost, insurer cover, drug self-pay, clinic self-pay, final self-pay, current monthly drug cost, current monthly self-pay, product comparison, coverage comparison, range, recommendation, and warnings.

Use the estimate with pediatric endocrinology diagnosis, growth curve, bone-age X-ray, benefit criteria, product selection, injection training, monitoring labs, side-effect review, and hospital quote.
