One thing to look forward to when one has any type of medical procedure is the ensuing medical bills.
When I gave birth in 2000 to an 8 lb baby, and in 2001 to a 10 lb baby, the charge each time was $3,500, of which I had to pay about 10%.
When the fine medical staff at North Cypress removed the 2 centimeter cancerous tumor from my breast in February, the charge from the hospital alone was $14,ooo.
Now I'm getting bills from this pathology lab, and that pathology lab, and this doctor and that. I got a bill from two separate pathology labs, both were for service on 2/12/07, both said "Surg Path, Level V 2 Specimen". I figured this was a mistake. Both labs use the same billing service, so I called to inquire. And what did the lady say?
"Oh, one bill is for performing the test, and the other is for interpreting it."
Oh. Silly me.
