No way was David billed TWO MILLION dollars especially without any surgery. As Brian noted, the 250 THOUSAND dollar price I was "charged" was much more than Blue Cross/Blue Shield payed, yet I kept all my bills and added them up myself. The CCC was a preferred provider so it agreed to accept BC/BS lower payments. It was astonishing how many separate bills I got for each procedure: up to 5 for each chemo, and at least three for each MRI.
Other readers of this forum may get scared of getting the treatment they need if their insurance is not so great and they don't get David's wicked sense of humor. I repeat: just radiation, chemo, PETSCANS and MRI's do NOT cost two million dollars for the type of treatment David and I had.
