The Bill
We got the first statements from the hospital today. The cost for the surgery and two days in the hospital:
$55,000.
That includes $4100/day for a shared room.
The basic charge for the surgery appears to have been $40 per minute. It lasted 555 minutes.
There were lots of other charges, but the bill was pretty incomprehensible.
I'm estimating that this whole episode will end up costing about $150,000
It seems that Enrique's insurance will pay for everything apart from a $1500 deductible. That sounds good. But, it's hard to know until we've received all the bills.
