The part that gives me a laugh…the hospital charged $55,000 for a device that costs approximately $8,000 retail and was nice enough to give a 50% discount and yet managed to walk away with close to a 400% markup. No wonder our health insurance is so expensive. No wonder so many people are getting initial denials when they decide to go bi-lateral. If you knock the cost of the implant down to what it truly costs with a reasonable markup, the bill would probably be around $15,000. And this doesn’t include the surgeon which is a separate bill. Unreal…
Ok, ok, ok…enough of the commercial; here is part 4….for those of you who get feeds but the link doesn’t show up, here it is to this video and the first 3…Sam Spritzer’s YouTube channel .
I am really enjoying these. I’ve seen activation videos before but not bilateral activations. It’s so interesting to see how she programs ’em to work together and what a difference the second one makes…immediately! How cool!!!!!
