$725,000 For One Day In The Hospital!? 😨 #shorts #medical #surgeon #healthcare #insurance #podcast
What would you do if you got a $725,000 bill after getting a surgery?
As Dr. K says in the clip below, that price is neither logical nor acceptable. And, of course, the patient had no idea about the cost ahead of the procedure.
N Kikkeri MD actually tried to estimate a fair cost during this week's Self-Funded with Spencer, and we arrived at an absolute maximum of 100k, and more likely around 60k. Still an expensive procedure, but that cost would be given upfront to the patient with no surprise billing afterward.
Check out my full conversation with Dr. K this week on Self-Funded with Spencer, available now on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and wherever you get your podcasts.
