$61,003.24
$61,003.24 is the total so far of my hospital charges, does not include about $400 of prescription meds.
waiting on the insurance company to tell me how much of that i will owe. and this does not include some ongoing costs (LifeVest rental, basically a wearable defibrillator that i wear 24/7 until i get a pacemaker), nor the coming cost of the pacemaker surgery (December is the next open date). gaahh... |

Don't pay it.
Just buy a ton of stuff that you always wanted, using your credit cards, and then declare bankruptcy.... Last edited by Jeff '79; 10-25-2012 at 7:17pm. |

if my gross margin making a cutting board is $100 (i'll keep this a hobby to steer clear of the tax man), i'd need to make about 610 cutting boards, and sell them, to pay that amount off. if i can make 3 a week, then that would take me 203+ weeks, or just under 4 years of constant work......let's go to plan B.....

Wait until you hit over $500k total cost in a 3 year span and talk to me then.
I'm worried about my lifetime cap. I can't complain a bit, though. I had pretty good insurance and 3 years later I have paid every penny that I owed. |

Ease back into the cutting board business. No use "wasting" your new start by working your ass off. Don't stress the bills, let the insurance company handle it. My wife's 30 radiation treatments were almost $70K and it was only $2K out of pocket Jeff |

2 years ago, I was in a similar situation.
4 separate hospitizations, 1 at 3 days, the other 2 were 1 day stays. My deductible is $2,500, with out of pocket exspenses up to $2,500 also. Add in co-pays ($500.00 each time I was admitted), plus all the Dr/lab/med charges, it ended up costing me $7,000. Total bills exceeded $100k, so factoring in my premium payments of $5K/yr, I paid out 10% of the total. Last year was 1 hospitization, plus my youngest son had some exspensive tests done. Another $7K I'd paid out, plus the premiums. $24K gone. My butt hurts (not hospital treatment related), but at least I'm here to bitch about it. |

Reading this I'm thankful I have good health insurance with premiums paid by my employer... no deductables, 800 max paid out of pocket per year. Guess I shouldn't have been bitching when my share of a day long er visit was 200 including the rx I had.

Definately ask for an itemized bill and go through it because hospitals are notorious for billing errors.
