Just for kicks and giggles, I calculated my medical bills (sure signs of boredom).
Total billed to insurance for diagnosis and prep surgeries: $69,311.
Total after adjusted to contracted rates: $24,069
services may be reimbursed at only 1/3 of billed rate!!!
Total after insurance reimbursement: $16,523
insurance saved me $52,788
Total after discounts and financial aid: $10,335
charity has cut my bill by 40%
Not to worry, the final bills haven't been processed, and I doubt the final cost will be as much as 10k. It's just pretty amazing to see what I racked up in October through November 2009!!
PS Since chemo started, costs have been $8500 for Dec - Feb. My new insurance covers all that yay
