I had a heart ablation procedure earlier this year where the amount billed to insurance from hospital, cardiologist, and anesthetist was $71k

The hospital fee was about $55k of that.

It’s was about a 3 hour procedure, with 1 hour before of prep/waiting and 2 hours after of monitoring the leg and arm puncture sites and heart rhythm.

P.s. I guess I finally got my money’s worth from 2.5 decades of paying insurance premiums without much usage of said insurance.
