Nobody kidney wants to work anymore

I do have government funded insurance so I will pay less than $200. Which I will only be able to afford if I pass Go.

Itemized hospital bill from the emergency room in the US. Listed are various services including IV, medications, and imaging. The costs range from $5 for an antinausea tablet to $500 for a pregnancy test and almost $7000 for a CT scan.

    7k for a noncontrast CT scan is absurd. As is the $700 CMP. And then charging around $1900 for nurses to hang IV fluids and two medications when the ER visit itself is only billed at $1700? Bonkers.

    When I look up surgical code payback numbers, my 1-2 hour surgeries rarely top $3k. So this hospital is really reaching with some of its numbers.
