hello to all,
i've learned that mayo hospital is probably one of, if not THE, go to hospitals for bpi evaluation. some background is i have no insurance and no income/job. but i would love to have that team evaluate my case. question is, can i afford it? does anyone who has done an evaluation know what a self pay person should expect to pay? it would be nice if mayo would give a self pay some kinda of discount off what i guess are the normal really high charges, but if not i could still do it if the final bill would be under 5 grand. thanks for any help.

Re: mayo evaluation cost
My evaluation consisted of an EMG, a nerve conduction test, and a meeting with several specialists. I believe my total was somewhere around the amount of $4000.00

Check out this thread, it talks a bit about the difference between the 2 types of tests. http://ubpn.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1 ... 75&start=0

- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: May 24, 2008 an 88 year old lady did not see me and pulled out while I was riding my 06 HD Street Glide. The accident resulted in 9 broken bones and brain hemorrhaging. The accident's most serious results was two avulsions confirmed in my C6 & C7 vertebrae. In Oct of 08 Dr. Li of Wake Forest University performed nerve transfer lasting around 8 hours in surgery. I have limited use now of my left arm. It took until July of 09 before it moved at all, and now is moving limited. I experience burning pain in my left hand, staying busy helps keep the mind off of burning. I visited the Mayo Clinic May, 2010 and consulted with their brachial plexus team. May 1, 2012, I underwent a muscle transfer at Wake Forest University. This surgery was deemed a success and I have more movement in my arm.

Re: mayo evaluation cost
I had an emg and met with the team of doctors and my total cost was almost $5,000. I offered to pay it all at once and got a discount but it will be close to $5,000
