just got the hospital bill

[gbakerc 2]

Just got the hospital bill. this is the day I have been waiting for. The grand total for Surgery(not including the 5K dr's fee) was $57,800. Obviously that does not take into account the $40K discount to BCBS so a net of around 18K. I don't know why they even put in the high number. If I was self pay it would have been about 17K. Luckily I only have to pay $2500 for everything for the year. I need to think of another surgery to have before december so it will be on the house:biggrin:
