The bills are starting to come in

I thought I would post this since I was telling my classmates...

These are some of the costs of my treatments and tests:

Bloodwork:

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel: $125

PTT: $45

MG and Phosphorus Assay: $54 each

Automated Hemogram: $95

Thromboplastin Time: $67

CA-125: $106

Procedures and Tests:

Office consultation with specialist: $320

Pelvic Ultrasound: $270

Chest X-Ray: $216

CT Scan of chest and pelvis with contrast: $1637 each

Port Placement: $6345

Anesthesia for 3-hr Exploratory Abdominal Surgery: $2052

Pathology biopsy: $136 ea. (I had at least 8)

1 round of chemotherapy: $3591 (listed as pharmacy, IV therapy, Med-surg supplies, chemotherapy-IV, drugs/detail code)

No worries... My insurance covers most of it and the Cancer Center is supposed to pick up the rest. Thank you nursing school for making me get health insurance!
