Just got off the phone today with the billing department for the hospital that did my heart bypass due to being charged for two blood transfusions I never received. The total bill was just a little under $578,000 for 24 days (there were complications) for which the insurance company paid $64,000 which makes me question the hospitals billing practices.
If I hadn't had Medicare, would the hospital have accepted the $64,000 to satisfy my bill from me?
I also owe $1749 the insurance won't cover. If I figured right, that means medicare paid 99.7% of my bill.
