Since I just paid the August 2025 bill from PenTec Health of their August 2025 billings, I thought it might be enlightening to share it with you. The actual bill is included as a PDF below with my Medicare credentials blotted out. You can see that our out-of-pocket cost for August on IPN was $1137.13. Let’s do a little math:

  1. In August 25, there were four Tuesdays, the day we receive shipments.
  2. Pentec delivered seven IPN treatments, each delivery, on average
  3. Total IPNs August = 4×7-28
  4. Our August billing/cost = $1137.13
  5. Cost/IPN = 1137.13/28 = $40.61/bag.

For comparison, filet mignon is about $22.00 per pound. So we could almost buy two pounds of filet for daily consumption compared to what the daily IPN is costing us. What’s wrong with this picture?
