$49,687.29

That number above?
That's what I owe to the hospital for all the kidney stone shennanigans (ER visit, outpatient procedures, professional fees, etc.).
Please note that the number is AFTER the uninsured discount. Otherwise, I'd be paying an additional $17,460.09.
I am freaking out re the number, but in a very quiet sort of way.
I thought this nonsense might beggar me, but I was hoping it wouldn't.
So, tomorrow I'm calling the hospital with questions re the bill, to arrange a payment plan and discuss financial assistance.
Just thinking about all of this fills my stomach with butterflies.
I was hoping I could just pay the bill and get back to normal, but now it looks like I'll be dealing with this for YEARS.

Only $32K

So, good news.
I called the hospital this morning with questions re the bill. The person I spoke with was very pleasant and very helpful. She noticed that the hospital had not applied by uninsured/self-pay discount to the second surgery that I had, which would take about $16K off the bill. That has to be approved by a supervisor, but that should be okay.
So, that would bring the bill down to about $32,000-something.
That's still large, but I could, in theory, pay it off.
So, good news, I suppose.
