Hi Emery,
The last thing you need is angst over the bill while you are recovering. My strong suggestion is to hire a lawyer or patient advocate right now and have them handle all the interface issues with the insurance company and medicare for you. They do this junk every day and know the ins and outs of our broken medical system far better than any of us. My guess is they can bring this down to a manageable level. Just don’t try to navigate these shark infested waters on your own. Focus your energy on your recovery. Be well.

I just received a copy from Humana insurance of the billing for my second back surgery.
The total billed charges were $203,737.95. This is just for the hospital and doesn?t included the surgeon?s charge.
The total denied by the insurance was $202,269.03
The denied included charges for radiology, operating room, anesthesia, physical therapy, general pulmonary, ekg and recovery room.
Now I am scared as to how much they plan to bill me. If I have to pay $200,000 that will be the amount of Social Security that I will likely draw for the rest of my life.
I believe that I had to sign a form saying that I would be responsible for anything that the insurance didn?t cover.
The GMC content of this email is that if they bill me for the difference I may have to sell my GMC to raise money!
