[QUOTE="Jenn D, post: 881036, member: 57678"] Costs are out of control and that's the biggest problem IMO. I was in my accident June 1st. After being extracted from the car and taken to the hospital, here's how the bills transpired from those 7 or so hours I spent after being removed from the wreckage: The ambulance (Fire Dept ambulance): $600 The doctor in the ER, who's name I wouldn't be able to tell you: $800 The CT scans and x-rays: $700 All of the above I am pretty much okay with... but the below shocked me... The hospital charge, simply for entering their doors on a stretcher: $10K + Keep in mind, I was not bleeding profusely, didn't require live-saving treatment. I basically just laid there getting asked questions, pushed to scans, and the honor of my clothes getting cut off me. How the heck does that cost over $10K? Could it be that they knew my insurance would cover it and wanted to make sure they got something from someone? Probably, but it's sad none-the-less. [/QUOTE]
