Permalink Snakebite victim charged $89,000 for 18-hour hospital stay

A snakebite victim who was treated at a North Carolina hospital came away with more than just fang marks when he received an $89,227 bill for an 18-hour stay. Eric Ferguson, 54, from Mooresville, N.C., got the staggering bill for anti-venom medicine and a short visit at Lake Norman Regional Center, according to the Charlotte Observer, after a snake bit him in the foot while he was taking out the garbage. According to his bill, the hospital charged a whopping $81,000 for a four-vial dose of the medication. For comparison, Ferguson and his wife found the same vials online for retail prices as low as $750.
