Well, appendicitis isn't brain surgery. (not trying to be offensive about it, but I would expect brain surgery to cost more than apendicitis)
So mom told me the breakdown of the some of the costs:
her ICU room for 1 day: $15k
blood: $8k (she didn't realize it til she got this bill, but they apparently had to give her blood in the OR)
Surgical supplies: $25k
Her room for the other 7 nites was $600 a night or something like that. Â*The hospital she was at only has private rooms, which was nice, but apparently expensive as well, heh.
Those are all I can remember now. Â*I think they were the significant ones anyway.
I knew going in to this it would be quite expensive. Â*But I was guessing more around $60k, including the ambulance and the individual doctors' bills. Â*The ambulance bill was about $500 (she has to pay about $150 I think), and she hasn't gotten the other bills yet...should be interesting tho.
