LisaMarie, that is hilarious! Bella and Bones had a big time, didn't they?

Just a quick FYI... My Mayo Clinic bill just arrived today. The total cost for blood tests, two consults with Dr Specks, colonoscopy, lung functioning tests, neurological consult, opthamology, and polysomnagram was about $11,600. After insurance, I expect to pay $2,000.

That sounds incredibly cheap for a week of evaluation.
Are you sure it includes everything?

[Sangye]

I bet that doesn't include everything. My first Mayo bill was around $13,000 (in 2007). I didn't have any testing other than labs and a few x-rays, and certainly no surgical procedure like a colonoscopy.

That doesn't sound too bad Mark. Thanks for the info.

Here in Minnapolis.....making arrangements to spend the night Monday night....got reservations....anxious and nervous about it but hopeful they will have better answers....My WG doc in Missouri says I am at the point I was the last time prior to admits, so he was nervous and anxious for me to get up here.....so wish me luck....my insurance is suppose to cover everything but $50 per test and $10 per Dr Appointment....so we will see....regardless i will figure it out but thanks for the update Mark.....suppose to get 15 inches of snow today so we will leave early tomorrow morning for my appointment

I will be at the Mayo tomorrow, 2/21. I'm being enrolled in a research study, and I'm also trying to get accepted into bariatric surgery.
