7k for a noncontrast CT scan is absurd. As is the $700 CMP. And then charging around $1900 for nurses to hang IV fluids and two medications when the ER visit itself is only billed at $1700? Bonkers.
When I look up surgical code payback numbers, my 1-2 hour surgeries rarely top $3k. So this hospital is really reaching with some of its numbers.
