I havent gotten too many bills. Im very fortunate that I have good medical insurance. I remember two bills I received for hospital stays. One was for 7 days and was about $27,000. My latest 10 day stay was $37,000. Out of those I was very lucky and only paid a very minimal co-pay of about $100 each. I never did get a bill for radiation or chemo. I have only paid the doctors their $10 co-pay for office visits.
So far I have yet to receive a bill for the HBO. Ive done 33 dives and have another 17 more to go. That has also been approved by my insurance. My HBO doc told me its very expensive, that it costs thousands to go thru HBO treatments.
