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
