My Brain Tumor - Bill is $62,000.

[Grace]

Did you get the bill, or do you mean a copy of the bill? I have Medicare
and my own health insurance and all I see are copies of bills and sometimes
a bill for my co-pay, if it hasn't already been paid. I do get a copy of the
Doctor charges from my HMO, but not a bill.

I can imagine how many pages a bill that size would be. Wow.

Yeah - it's only a single page - but it says at the top Hospital Inpatient Bill - then different charges are listed. ICU 1 day - 3,683; Room Charge 1 day - 1422; then a bunch of ancillary charges, including Pharmacy, Sterile Supplies, Anesthesia, Operating Room, MRI, etc. At the bottom - No Payment Due At This Time.

I suspect there will be more bills, lol: Anesthesiologist, lab, and on and on. Seems each and every one bills separately!

Now, you put that ENORMOUS number in the thread title. DO post and tell us you have insurance coverage!!! As lizbud said.

Yes, I have wonderful medical insurance. Medicare, of course, with supplemental backup from The University of Michigan - which is where I had the surgery. Once upon a long time ago, I worked in the Neuro ICU - this time I was a patient there.
