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.

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

is an EMG and a nerve conduction test the same thing? i have never had any kind of testing.

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
They are definately different. Check it out.

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
