Rachel came and visited me yesterday and we thought of a fun blog topic - "Guess the total of Jenn's medical bills". Now not everything has been billed yet, but we thought it would be fun if everyone made a guess...perhaps I'll even dig up a prize for the winner.
Items to be billed June - December 2007:
2 CT Scans
5 MRIs
3 Office Visits with neurosurgeon
3 Office Visits with regular doctor (pre-op physical, staple removal, follow-up/release to return to work)
1 Brain Surgery (I was under for 6 hours and spent an hour in recovery)
4 days in hospital (2 as ICU patient and 2 as a regular patient, though I did stay in the ICU room)
For the purposes of declaring a winner I will only be calculating charges for the items listed above. Make your best guess now!! I should have most of the amounts within a few weeks but I won't be able to get a final total until January though.
15 grand!
ReplyDeleteEven though I think this is a bit morbid, I'll take a stab: $24K
ReplyDelete$83,333 and yes you are worth every penny!!
ReplyDeleteMy mom aka Barbie is in the right range (I think). MRIs are about $4k each! It's all going to come down to what the surgery and ICU stay cost.
ReplyDeleteWell, considering ICU costs are about 20k to 30k per day, I am going to say about $90,000.
ReplyDelete125,000
ReplyDeleteEHW
150,000
ReplyDeleteNow when we talked abuot this I didn't realize you were including the MRI's and stuff. I say, $165,000.
ReplyDelete15 grand Ruth Ann? LOL!
ReplyDeleteI am going to play this like the Price Is Right and say $165,001
ReplyDeleteWhat you can't do that Kim! You suck!
