I have a $370,000 EOB for a pacemaker surgery I had in February. (Good thing it has a defib.) The story I get is that the hospital failed to get a new prior auth when the surgery switched to the combo cardiac cath/surgery suite. I don't know what really happened or why the price of a Zillow listing is sitting next to my name. The hospital has not sent me a bill for that amount, and I hold my breath every time I look at my insurance portal or get a bill from the hospital.
How about we all start with this: patients are people? Thank you for all you do, Marshall.
