Total charge for all that jazz, 1523.18. Amount due for uninsured, 624.50.
You need a hearing test to graduate NICU. I remember James had to have it done twice. I remember insurance (BCBS) not covering the second test and we paying right around $400. Since Grant got out fast they just scheduled the test for next week at Timp. They called Rich & quoted him a couple of hundred. He forwarded them to me. They quoted me $75 and I had reservations about doing it as Grant responds when I talk to him. I understand the use of oxygen could have an effect on his hearing but I really see no signs of it. They then offer it for $54. I know there is a chance so for $50, let's do it.
Today Mr Grant had cosmetic surgery on his man parts (aka circumcision...NICU boys have to have it done at the Pedia). How much is that? It's $260. Oh you're paying for it? It's $200 and if you pay today it is$154.
What a freakin racket. I can't wait for the NICU bills. Come what may...

I've always said it is not helthcare that needs reformed but helth insurance. Next time I think I will try talking them down. What a joke!
wow, you have mad negotiating skills, woman!
Nice! If you don't get the quote you want just keep calling until you get someone to quote you what you want. :-)
