![]() Fortunately, my insurance covered all but $50 of it so my actual out-of-pocket cost was low but still, it shouldn’t cost $2,300 to have your heart monitored for 14 days. The total bill was exactly $2,300! That’s just stupid. As suspected, the cost was indeed well over $1,000. I got the bill for this monitoring about a week ago. After I had my ablation I was getting bills for it still a year after the fact! The bill for this monitoring period will probably cost well over $1,000 (I have a high deductible health insurance plan) and I probably won’t see it until December or sometime early next year. It always amazes me how long it takes to get my medical bills for these things. Now I patiently wait for the bill to arrive. Maybe if I knew I was being monitored 24/7, 365 days a year I wouldn’t have any more PVCs and PACs! Sometimes I seriously contemplate having one of those implantable heart monitors put in me. I had a feeling that my heart was going to “suddenly” behave over the two-week period and I was just going to be wasting my time and money.Īfter the monitoring period was over and I shipped the monitor back to be analyzed, I knew they weren’t going to find anything because it was the quietest two weeks I had had in a long time as far as my PVCs and PACs were concerned.Ībout a week after I sent the monitor back my PVCs and PACs kicked in as usual. The days leading up to my monitoring period I was having intense PVCs and PACs, which is why I broke down and had the monitoring done in the first place.īut wouldn’t you know it, the day I put the monitor on, my heart was as quiet as a church mouse. I have to be honest, I was pretty upset not at the results but at how the whole monitoring period went down. Everything looked great and I have nothing to worry about. Well I got the results back a couple weeks ago but I haven’t had time to update my blog until now.Īs I predicted, my 2-week monitoring period didn’t show anything concerning other than “occasional” PVCs and PACs. to 7:00 p.m.About a month ago I wrote how I was undergoing another round of heart monitoring for my PVCs and PACs.
