Priceless

It took a while, but our bill from 47 days at Seattle Children's finally rolled in. Any guesses?

This is what our insurance company was billed, but of course they pay much less. This does NOT include any of the physician charges though - each physician that worked with him has charged us separately...

Pharmacy $107,163

Supplies 14,324

Labs 107,049 (really?? over 100,000 worth of labs?)

Radiology 9,141

OR 150,268

Anesthesia 31,375

Blood 31,543

Imaging 25,910

Resp Services 36,000

Cardiology 131,422

Room 156,600

ICU 296,050

Medical 4,149

Diagnostics 3,896

Physical Therapy 775

Dialysis 24,876

It's really quite silly. All of these charges from the hospital and the most important person during his hospital stay (the one who actually fixed his heart) charged only $6,000 for his surgery. Needless to say, we will be teaching Isaac to have a good job that has good health insurance.
