Could you make this procedure any more expensive?
I don't know how much my thoracic ESI costs. I had 7 lumbar epidurals (in 2000 - 2002) in the doctor's office with no imaging. I had one lumbar ESI in a doctor's office with flouroscopy.
The thoracic procedure is tougher. But, I still believe this is an office procedure with flouro.
Yesterday, I was in a full-on operating room with the doctor, two nurses, and an xray tech.
I don't know how this will be billed and paid. I had a $150 copay. I'll report back when I see an explanation of benefits.

PS... post your ridiculously billed or paid procedures..
