But I'm not complaining. My insurance the past six month paid for four CT scans, two chest x-rays, a thin needle lung biopsy, a bronchospy biopsy, associated pathology reports, a three day hospital stay, multiple doctor visits, and a full torso PET scan which determined that in all probability I do NOT have cancer, but still have a dead area in my right upper lung and some lingering pneumonia.
After years of not costing the insurance companies much at all, the past six months have cost them a small fortune. CT scans alone cost about $3,000 each at Scripps Clinics and the PET scan about $12,000. I hope this will soon be the minimal coverage for all Americans. Thank you HealthNet.
