I got my first glimpse of the charges for my ankle. Take a look at these charges for my trip to the hospital. This is why everyone should have insurance. I never use my insurance, I've been to see the Dr maybe once in the last 8 years, but when the unexpected happens (and it does) you don't want to pay this kind of money on the spot!
The 6 block ambulance ride was $905.
My surgery and overnight stay was $17,918.
ER charge $225.
Anesthesia: $720.
Radiology $104
Grand Total: $19,872
I'm still awaiting the Dr's charges for that day. Those are billed separate. I will also have the follow up appointments/visits w/ x-rays and splints, etc, and eventually Physical Therapy.
