there are no such things as "average hospital bills" in the u. s. emergency room charges are sooooo outrageous; almost criminal in my opinion. charges vary for the use of the er the doctor's fees and the tests that were run. any procedures like x-rays a ct scan (an er favorite) iv fluids and any medications are all extra. it would not be unusual to get a bill for several thousand dollars.
what is the average hospital bill for someone treated in an emergency room for flu but not admitted overnight?
