Just to give you an idea of how hospital billing works ... (my information is not typical, since we do NOT line item bill for medications, bandaids, and activities, which is common practice in most hospitals ... so if you are getting the $200/dose medicine you pay the same as the guy who is getting the $0.50/dose stuff).

Our "posted" rate (on the front door) is $1000/day. When a patient has insurance a rate is negotiated with the insurance company. This rate is pre-negotiated and contracted for with most of them. We get $300 to 350/day from most insurance providers. If you are getting medically managed detox from one particular provider, we get $450, which is the highest rate of pay for any service we provide.

Yes, we put the "non" in "non-profit."
