Re: TO JEAN RE: COST OF SURGERY

[Guest guest]

Hi, Vickie. I don't know if it will help, but here's the bill my hospital

sent me for my myomectomy, which was done in September by Dr. Gaither

in Newton, Mass.

Medical/surgical semi-private room: $862

Pharmacy: $321

IV Solutions: $198

Medical/surgical supplies, other: $151

Cytology: $45

Histology: $120

Operating room: $3,577

Anesthesiology: $464

Recovery Room: $1976

____________________

Total: $7,464.44

I didn't receive a separate bill from the doctor. My insurance covered all

but my $250 deductible.
