I Had Surgery

I just looked up my insurance Explanation of Benefits.

Surgery and one night in the hospital they billed $40,000.

This is what it's like to get sick in the US. And this is only one bill.

Will your insurance pick up most of it? I hope so. I was hospitalized 2 years ago...$53,000. Thank God for Medicare. I only owed $117.00 Good luck.

@soar2newhighs I'll probably owe about 5,000.

Well, if you do, hopefully if you don't have that kind of $$$ readily available, the medical facility can work out a payment plan with you. Good luck.@abooklover

@soar2newhighs I don't even remotely have that kind of money. I'm filling out financial assistance applications today.

Good luck with that.@abooklover
