Out-of-Network ER Bill with Wellmark BCBS

On vacation with my family and needed up going to an ER. Doctor ordered two basic labs and an EKG. 45 minutes in and out. No Meds or IV because I knew it would be even more expensive.

I spend over $600 a month for an employer health insurance plan.

Charges: Emergency Room $2099 Professional $680 CBC and CMP $390 EKG $514

Premera Adjustment -$339 (Affordable Care Act Adjustment)

Wellmark discount -$75

I laughed out loud. Thanks for the discount health insurance. I’ll bring the sand lube next time to make it more comfortable.

TL;DR 45 minute ER visit out-of-state with two basic labs and EKG cost over $3500 with private health insurance.
