How much are those doggies in the window?

Jeff talked to the insurance people at the hospital to make sure out I's were dotted and our T's were crossed with all of our info and insurance cards, etc. He asked the lady how much a night in the NICU costs, just out of curiosity. The woman said they had the boys totals thus far if he was interested.
Hell yes, was my Jewish husband interested! He wanted to see
A: How much these kids are already costing him
and
B: How much we wouldn't have to pay because we have medical coverage (savings!)

So far, are you ready....

Dylan's bill for a 2 week stay is...
$174,000

Trevor's bill for his luxe stay is...
$241,000

Yes, that's right...their total is almost half a million dollars. And they will probably be in the NICU for another 2 weeks. Granted their care now is much less involved but still...
This of course doesn't include my costs.
SCARY.

WHOA! That's a huge tab! When the final bill is calculated, make sure you get a copy for their baby book ;o)

Ah yes, I have a few friends with Trips and the cost is unbelievable! TG for insurance (hopefully yours is awesome).
