Surgical supplies - $34,141
Laboratory - $43,780
Pharmacy - $73,529.98

Thank heavens for insurance!

Worth it?
A one word answer - YES!!

You are worth every penny and then some. Wow, those bills are amazing. Makes you wonder how long the hospital has been paid for, and all of the machines, etc. Of course the money for the staff goes on but still, it still makes you wonder. Or it does me.

YES! YES!! YES!!! Worth every single penny :2thumbsup; :clap; :2thumbsup;

Yeah, the charge for "organ acquisition" amazed me. It's not like they paid for it, after all. I realize it costs for a surgeon to remove the organs, and there are transportation costs and tests to run to ensure the health status - but $108,000 seems extreme!

That's the billed amount, but I doubt thats how much will be paid.
And YES, you're more than worth it!
