The last time I saw a bill from my neurogurgeon, it was about $150,000 and that was 1983.
I had to have the same procedure done again in 2003 but never saw a bill because my insurance covered everything. I think it cost me a couple thousand dollars out of pocket for everything. DUmmy is better off paying for an insurance policy that will cover him and going from there.
This is gross, a MRI costs the earth and few hospitals will turn down someone with a problem this bad, just hope to someday collect on the bill.
Actually some Teaching Hospitals love these patients.

On Tuesday we have a class in brain tumors , no working in the Morgue this one is a volunteer alive and kicking so far. All students, Nurses, doctors and anaesthesiologist students to report to Operating room, remember to wash your hands. Insure all instruments are sterile and don't forget to wear gloves.
Your instructor is DR Smith and we hope he will be sober. You will learn how to remove a tumor from the brain and hopefully the patient will survive.
Please remember no lunches or sodas are allowed in the operating room, no smoking and all have to wear head coverings and booties. No cell phones to call anyone and an alert to the funeral home to come just in case we screw up.
Boston general a man undergoing brain surgery had the Doctor leave mid operation to go across the street to cash his pay check, real thing, not a joke.
