Barbara,

The quote you mention is about the same as I was billed here in Atlanta at Emory University Hospital. I had a total of 30 "dives" and all was covered by my insurance but I did see copies of the billing information. Mine were with the single chambers as opposed to the group type which I understand hold up to about 8 patients at a time. I don't know if there is a cost difference between the two types of chambers. When I first went for the consult prior to the treatments I thought to myself that there was no way I could get into that tube! I finally told myself that I really had no choice so I just had to deal with it. Actually, I found that it was no big deal and sort of got to where I enjoyed the 2 hour forced rest and relax period each day. Caught a lot of movies on from their DVD library as well that I had not seen before.

Good luck,

Bill Dozier
