I just got my bill for a skin biopsy taken to determine peripheral neuropathy. I was astounded! The full amount was $2,816. My share in that is $533.02. I'm not sure if it cost more because I have insurance, or if this is what it would cost anyone without insurance.
Bone marrow test for myeloma monoclonal cells totaled $3677 before insurance discounts (not insurance payments - our insurance doesn't pay anything). Insurance negotiated discount was 1934. So total was $1734.
Included was:
BLD Smear Periphrl 53
Bone Marrow Smear 149
Flow Cymetry, Cell 89
Each Additional MA 1656
16 or more markers 166
Surgical Pathology 348
Decalcification PR 33
Spec Stains; group 456
Immunocytochemistr 471
TISS Cult Neoplasm 350
Chromo Analy; ct1 400
This does not include doctor fee of around $350. How we are supposed to know if all of this was necessary to tell what percent monoclonal cells you have in your bone marrow, I don't know.
