Went to hospital today to speak with the patient liason. He was attentive and what I percieved to be genuinely concerned with the outcome of our visit.
I am not the person who uses the pimp hand. I am very slow to anger.
He and I discussed the visit and he will have somebody from financial services call me. I requested an itemized bill with CPT codes so that I can compare with real world payments as opposed to hospital billing.
One resource on the web, similar to kelly blue book for medical procedures, listed the abdominal CT w/contrast at 675$.
Hard to fathom how a non-insured patient can be billed at 10x the normal amount reimbursed by medicare or insurance company.
