Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Robin, Is it what they were charged or what they paid. My podiotrist(sp) charged my insurance company $750 but they paid $100. Just curious.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2001 Report Share Posted January 31, 2001 Robin I'd question that exorbitant total--that is so ludricrously high it's not even funny! My bill came to $69,534 and that was for 2 surgeries, 5 surgeons, a week of ICU care, physical therapy to help me walk again, round-the-clock breathing treatments, tube feedings, CT scans, half a dozen upper GIs, 4 weeks on a PCA (morphine pump), and 30 days in one of the most expensive hospitals in the country just to name a few. Something sounds majorily amiss with your bill...YIKES! Bridget > Got some papers from my insurance co, three pages of explanation of > benefits.
