How much would these things cost without Health Insurance?

-Today I had to go to the emergency room because I was having terrible chest pain and breathing problems. They did a CT Scan on my chest, one x-ray on my chest, and did blood tests and games me some pain medicine to help with the pain. I have no health insurance and I am currently unemployed. I am 21 years old. I was wondering how much all of this would cost? They did tell me that they would take 40% off their bill but the x-ray, CT scan, and the doctor get paid separately. I am very worried about this. If someone could tell me how much it would be that would mean a lot! Thank you!Every hospital sets their OWN prices. No one here can answer your question. You need to contact the hospital's billing department and ask THEM.Well, the visit to the ER is usually $800 to walk in the door and get triaged.



The CT scan, and paying the doc to read it, could be $4,000. The Xray, $700. Blood tests, who knows.



You could realistically expect this visit to run you $7,000 to $12,000.
Get your body down to the Billing Office tomorrow. Tell them you have NO insurance and to please help you file the paperwork for Medicaid.

That bill will be close to 10,000
$2,000-$3,000 is my guess. A CT Scan is about $1,500-$2,000. But, look to get gouged by the doctor so it could be much higher.
You should have gone to an urgent care clinic instead. Since you have no insurance, you should find an outpatient community or county clinic in your city and become a patient there. If you have parents who have health insurance, you can go on their plan until age 26. You will have to pay the bill. Call the hospital and make monthly payments with the billing department. This does not sound like a life-threatening problem.



That's what is wrong with the federal law requring Emergency Rooms to treat people without insurance, then when they dont pay their bill, Medicaid gets it, so taxpayers have to pay for you.
