Understanding these terms helps families participate more effectively in the planning and negotiation process, ensuring clear expectations and informed decisions.
Medical costs refer to expenses related to treatment, hospitalization, medications, therapies, and ongoing healthcare services required due to Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
