Chemo costs for March 21 to March 23:
3/21/2017 - $26, 966.57
3/22/2017 - $1,160.52
3/23/2017 - $14, 551.76
On March 20 blood tests and a PET scan came to $13,789.72
All of these are what the hospital billed Medicare. The amount Medicare paid to the hospital was considerable less.
And on another note...
I just got back from an oncology massage and feel great. I'll get one more in before the transplant. Wish I could get one while I am in the hospital! The University of Colorado does not seem to be very proactive when it comes to alternative medicine or integrative care. They do offer some integrative services but they are in the background and I think we have to seek them out. Boulder Community Hospital, perhaps being Boulder is more cutting edge when it comes to these services. Now if Medicare and other insurance companies would recognize the benefits and provide some coverage.
