i can speak to what is billed to a hospital room....as a nursing student, when I pull a supply from the "omni cell" it is assigned to that patient. With that said.... alcohol pads aren't one of them. In fact, I can pull stuff and call it floor supply and no one gets billed. I do this....as most...
I cat believe they settled for 4600! crazy....somebody made an error

there are major medical policies Brian. High deductible and only covers big bad stuff....those are cheap if your young. I doubt your getting policy with pap smears.......but maybe

dude....,I don't know......BUT. If MEK has a family and something to lose then I wouldn't roll without health insurance.

what if it is not settled for peanuts....
there is more to the story here.
no way a hospital can afford to function at those fees.....heart surgery for 10K? no way
just curious...how long was treatment? night in hospital? follow up?
4600 seems super cheap and to good to be true.... did you mean 46000?( was this a WC claim?)
