her leg where they just stuck some needles in (didn't cut her open). It was at a time we were in-between health care coverage. It was one hour procedure and an hour prep before and and an hour recovery after. Three hours total and she didn't stay overnight. When the bills started rolling in...they billed us over $100,000. I was shocked. I asked if they had the right person and procedure. They gave us zero indication in advance this is what it would cost. For some reference, my mom had to go in for emergency appendectomy just a few months prior to this. There were some complications. She stayed 3 days in the hospital recovering. Her bill was under $35,000.
