Even with insurance, the price of this man’s knee brace cost him more than $800. Via KHNews:
Last October, Esteban Serrano wrenched his knee badly during his weekly soccer game with friends.
Total Bill: $1,197: $210 for the office outpatient visit, $105 for the X-ray and $882 for a hinged knee brace, all billed by the orthopedic practice. His insurer, Aetna, negotiated only $52.59 off the cost of the brace. That left Serrano with a balance of $829.41 because he hadn’t met his $3,000 deductible for the year.Medical Service: A doctor examined Serrano’s knee and sent him for an X-ray.
Esteban Serrano, a software engineer, grew up playing soccer in Quito, Ecuador, and he has kept up his sport since moving to the United States two decades ago.
