Pam,
Same ballpark at Northwestern in Chicago. Today, I got one of those " This is not a bill." Printouts in the mail, and
it was well over 50K. Thank God for Medicare.

Re: Just totaled up my sleeve charges.....!!!
Mine was $54,436.79 but didn't have to pay anything since my husband works for the hospital where the surgery is done & they the write off anything the insurance didn't cover. I'm very thankful for that, in fact told my husband he can't quit the job because of our insurance coverage.

Re: Just totaled up my sleeve charges.....!!!
Mine totalled over $600,000!
Talk about over billing! $15,000 for less than 24 hours was the norm!
Thank GOD for insurance!

Re: Just totaled up my sleeve charges.....!!!
WANGAL: That sounds like a huge bill compared to what a lot of other people paid. Definitely overbilled.
