Hospital Bill

just got the bill from Maple Grove Hospital - so glad we have good insurance. $1480/day for the NICU, $2791 total for labs, $1567 for IV solutions, $792 for supplies. Total bill=$14,032. They applied an uninsured patient discount for $8840, bringing our total down to $5191. Jon says once Jolynn is on his insurance we will get a new bill that will be drastically less. Can't imagine what other parents do that have preemies in for months. Jolynn was only in for 6 days.

My sister recently had to have a hystorectomy at has to pay 10% of her $50,000 bill. Even $5,000 is a lot of money. Can't imagine having to pay the full amount.

I agree with you....Thank God for good insurance and also that your baby is alright.
