I was in there for three nights also, and had surgery, but then again, my understanding is that OB stays are pre-negotiated at a set price. So ... I don't know if that's a good predictor or not. We shall see!Chief Family Officerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02320154821990804327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-67907968169931153962009-08-25T20:46:44.879-07:002009-08-25T20:46:44.879-07:00when hubby was in the hospital, three nights cost ...when hubby was in the hospital, three nights cost 5000 a night. I was only topped by the actual surgery, which cost 90,000. Not to mention all the other costs. I would like to thank my insurance company for footing all those bills.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772046354636367554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-23324293699638608872009-08-25T17:24:54.464-07:002009-08-25T17:24:54.464-07:00Thank Goodness you have health insurance.

Something must be done to regulate the astronomical fees these hospitals charge.Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13259011.post-13522689238246389482009-08-25T15:27:25.661-07:002009-08-25T15:27:25.661-07:00I'm glad you and Marc are so conscious of your...I'm glad you and Marc are so conscious of your health benefits and take advantage of your FSA. That was one of the most important benefits offered to me when I was working, and often meant I could see a doctor when otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it. I don't envy you the sight of your first bills from those visits- been there,done that, and still paying for the ambulance ride! I'm happy to know that it won't hurt you the way health care can hurt the ill prepared (like I once was).Michael and Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811899330944427814noreply@blogger.com
