[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 1890755, member: 1294"] [An Arizona woman was socked with a $25,000 hospital bill for a trip to the emergency room after being stung by a scorpion. She went to Chandler Regional Medical Center for treatment and was given two doses of the scorpion antivenom Anascorp. Three hours later she was discharged -- and a few weeks later a bill for $83,046 arrived in the mail. Edmonds' insurance company Humana paid $57,509, leaving her with the remaining tab of $25,537. An American drug distributor charges hospitals $3,750 per dose. The Arizona hospital where Edmonds went charges $39,652. The hospital, owned by Dignity Health, told the Republic Edmonds was charged the full billing price because she was out-of-network for her health insurance plan.] [url]http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2012/09/05/Scorpion-sting-leads-to-a-hefty-bill/UPI-64681346873024/[/url] [/QUOTE]
