From KFF Health News's bill of the month - a #colonoscopy and a $19,000 bill. "Colonoscopies typically takes less than 1 hour, with another hour spent taking the patient’s history, administering anesthesia and monitoring recovery. According to the patient's medical record, the #colonoscopy was “not difficult.” The #gastroenterologist biopsied and removed small polyps from 2 spots and identified large internal hemorrhoids. Pathology found that the samples were #precancerous. The #gastroenterologist reported no evidence of #cancer and, after reviewing the pathology report, concluded that hemorrhoids probably caused the bleeding. The hospital charged $19,206 for the procedure, including physician fees. After the insurer negotiated discounts and paid $1,979, the #patient was on the hook for $4,047. With the $1,000 he paid upfront, plus $1,381 after the procedure, he still owed $1,666." The billing problem: #Colonoscopies that find #polyps cost more. The pre-procedure estimate was $7,203, with an out-of-pocket bill of $2,381. The charges were nearly three times the estimate and his out-of-pocket share was nearly twice as high.
