I had a 15 minute appointment to schedule an appointment and was charged $700.
Dude got butt fucked both literally and financially.
it’s standard for providers to bill for two colonoscopies if they remove two or more polyps in different ways.
Billing for 2 procedures instead of 1 could conceivably explain why the bill was twice as high as the estimate. It could not possibly explain why the bill was three times as high as the estimate.
Because someone’s gotta line their pockets. That’s why
Of course. It’s just that they haven’t even come up with a plausible excuse.
he obviously should have asked for a semicolonoscopy.
50+yo here so got one, but I’m in Canada, cost is $0, we don’t even have a bill, a bill… for hospital? non-sense in the world.
You do have bills for the hospital, I’ve actually paid one (5k for imaging)… it’s just free for Canadians tht qualify for health care coverage (which is everyone except a few very limited exceptions).
But, even then, the prices are reasonable.
I’m in Estonia, and went to an operation. Got the operation and stayed at the hospital for one night. Paid 2.5€ for using the bed, so it was pretty much free.
It must really suck living in a place without proper healthcare. I feel bad for all those people.
Out of curiosity, why do they charge for the bed? If you slept on the floor, would they not charge you?
Bro shut up! You’re gonna mess up my kid’s allowance!
I’m not paying for a nontango satch!
thank you for your excellent service
Wow that’s totally unreasonable. No one should be charged more than $9500 for a colonoscopy.
Is this sarcasm? $9k is a ludicrous amount of money for a procedure that everyone should be getting as part of their preventative Healthcare.
Mine was about $300 out of pocket with blue cross insurance
It’s a good thing Democrats stopped their left wing from fixing healthcare in USA, because that way they were able to hold on to power, and prevent things from getting worse…
Oh wait!
You were asking for it up the ass, and who better to oblige than the healthcare system?
That would make sense if he was a Republican. They’ve got one at the top too.
Baker’s colonoscopy. And here’s another tube up your butt, cause you’re such a good customer
Make mine a double!
One for the price of two?
BOGO.

Doppio colonoscopio per favore
