March 23-April 14, 2017, I spent 23 days at York Hospital, in ICU, CCU, private room, round-the-clock nurses, many CT-Scans, 4 endoscopies, for Acute/Severe Pancreatitis, AFIB (heart); 5 stents in heart arteries (too weak from Pancreatitis for bypass op); the total bill was $887,500. I died 2x, they brought me back, and I lost 131-lbs (265 to 134).
Then, 2mos later, I was at PSU-Hershey Hospital/Medical Center for GI specialists for 11 days in ICU with 9 endoscopies, 4 stents in stomach to drain pseudo-cyst on Pancreas (ERCP Op), lost 11-lbs; total bill was over $112,000.
At both hospitals, the Drs and Nurses and support staff were incredible, but God wasn’t ready for me just yet; I’m still in “His waiting room”.
In all cases, MediCare and Geisinger Gold have negotiated down the prices, and paid ~98-99%.
