re: Everyone should request an itemized hospital bill, it is really interesting

For 51 minutes of anesthesia, at that billing rate (which tells me what kind of insurance we are looking at) the anesthesia group probably collected about $500 for your case because each case has a set of base units

At the cost of paying an anesthesiologist and a nurse anesthetist to do the procedure, you’re looking at a gross revenue for anesthesia services for your procedure that the anesthesia company made at or around $0 net revenue.

Now, if we are talking South Carolina and the anesthesia care model was a certain type, the anesthesia company collected at least 35% less than that.
