The average cost of Bicillin LA 2.4 MU for treating Syphilis is $7000 for a box of 10. A box of 10 from Henry Schein, a medical supplier, costs $10,000. 

I don't have 340 b, but I have a large HIV population and a high rate of Syphilis diagnosis. It seems the only option I have is to treat them all with Doxycycline or send them to the local health department. Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial insurance do not pay enough to cover the cost. I will appreciate any recommendations on getting Bicillin at a cheaper rate.

Have you tried reaching out to your local Health Department to see if they have a Bicillin delivery program? I know in our County the Health Department will provide Bicillin to private clinics for administration to patients with syphilis, with the appropriate pile of paperwork, of course.
