Bill total…

- Strategy
- Patient journey
I posted a few weeks ago about my stent, etc. Fortunately had it removed a few weeks ago and am much better. Still have several stones in my right kidney and my urologist wants to have a consultation about removing them in a few weeks. Anyway, got most of my EOB’s and insurance stuff and was surprised (shouldn’t have been) at the totals for what started out as a 6 mm stone from hell, lol. Anyway, the total from start to finish was $38052.30. Fortunately I have Medicare and an advantage plan (on SSDI for a bad heart and a few other things) so don’t have a total yet as to what I’m responsible for. I see why some gut it out and try to pass them on their own. Hang in there fellow “stoners” and stay healthy!!
