The other day, I saw an episode of I Was Prey where a guy required 32 bottles of antivenom.

Yikes!

CROFAB is what we have in the United States, and is used to treat all venomous snake bites (from national snakes) with the exception of the Coral Snake.

Bump. Medical fees are out of control since ACA monopolized the healthcare industry.

how much did he owe out of pocket? for situations like that hospitals / states will write off the bill. no one actually has to pay hundreds of thousands for that.

I didnt see anybody say that in the comments. We have seen proof that the hospital will charge $150,000+ for a rattlesnake bite, but can you prove that it was covered by the hospital? Thats wishful thinking.

Is there a difference between the hospital officially deciding to eat the cost, and the patient deciding not to pay them? One way or the other, there's no way that hospital is gonna get $150K
