My Surgery

Keep in mind that every situation will certainly be different, and this is only meant to be an estimate. I stayed in the hospital for 3 nights in the ICU and then another 4 on the Pediatric floor. I had two bars put in, had an epidural, and had Physical Therapy come each day.

My final bill was broken down as follows:

• Pharmacy: $6,266
• Supplies: $7,902
• EKG/ECG: $100
• Room & Board: $13,770
• Surgery: $22,134
• Anesthesia: $3,282
• Lab: $164
• Radiology: $1,080
• Physical Therapy: $1,195
• Pulmonary Function: $555

Total Charges: $56,449
