TT's Kidney Stone

You could be forgiven for thinking that passing stone is made of gold.

American healthcare system, documented. 7-hour stay at an emergency room for a kidney stone. One CT scan, four doses of pain meds, a plastic container to catch the stone.

$17,687.48.

My insurance paid $7,868.33. The hospital wrote off $9,494.15. I paid $325.00 out of pocket. pic.twitter.com/cLKCwfmkQe
