My daughter was having severe stomach pains while at college so she went to the hospital in Statesboro, GA and they ran some tests, did a CT on the spot, didn’t find anything wrong, and sent her home to follow up with her PCP. We never learned a cause and it hasn’t happened again. Later we got the bill and it was over $15,000 with our outstanding portion almost $7000. I guess the only hospital is town is not “in network” and instead is in the “savings tier” so they only covered 30% and it looks like the hospital added a $3000 adjustment (I’ll post the bill below). We’ve already called to see why it was so high and the only thing they said was if we pay it off we can get a 20% discount. $5500 is still way more money than we have. They offered a payment plan as well, but I want to try an get it reduced further first. Can you all help me figure out the itemized bill and offer some tips to get this fixed, please? Some of the the prices charged seem outrageous, 7 grand for a Ct scan not the least of which. Thanks in advance.
