in my early 20s. I spent 10 days in the hospital, with three of those in the ICU. I got two MRIs, a CT scan, and two lung taps. I was sent home with oxygen tanks and daily shots to thin a blood clot. I believe the final bill was $198,000.""We paid $8,000 out-of-pocket for a double mastectomy and reconstruction for my mom’s breast cancer. It would've been $140,000 without insurance.""My baby was born unexpectedly and very prematurely at 26 weeks.
"I went back and forth with the hospital and my insurance. Each just kept saying it was the other’s error, and meanwhile I was concerned the bill would go to collection and hurt my credit. I persisted and finally got someone from my insurance to contact the hospital. It turned out the hospital charged me the surgeon's fee, but that had already been charged to my insurance and paid. So, they tried to charge me twice for the same thing. If it was a $20 charge, I may have just paid it.
