Included an EKG, A Spinal Fluid test, a bone marrow biopsy, surgical implantation of a port, and 5 days of chemotherapy. The bill was 86k. That only includes the hospital stay, the Chemo, and the procedures. The lab work and anesthesia were billed separately and were about another 5-6k. The insurance negotiated it down to 36k. I paid my max out of pocket, which is 3200. If I didn't have insurance I would have been on the hook for the full 86k. Realistically if I didn't have insurance I would be dead because I would have refused treatment. --- "If you wish to converse with me define your terms" Voltaire <cite>ScazarMeltex posted [p:947490633] in Do any non...
