Scorpion sting leaves Arizona woman with huge bill Sep 5th 2012, 11:17 Published September 05, 2012 Associated Press PHOENIX –  An Arizona woman is wondering what hurt more: getting stung by a scorpion or seeing her hospital bill after treatment. Marcie Edmonds says the bill from Chandler Regional Medical Center was more than $83,000. That includes two doses of anti-venom at nearly $40,000 per dose. The Arizona Republic says Edmonds' insurer has paid more than $57,000 and the suburban Phoenix hospital is asking Edmonds for the balance of about $25,000. The 52-year-old Ahwatukee Foothills resident was stung in June while opening a box of air conditioner filters in her garage. Edmonds says an emergency room doctor told her about the Mexican anti-venom Anascorp that could quickly relieve her symptoms, but she was never told about the cost. Chandler Regional says Edmonds' bill represents the out-of-network costs for her treatment.
