This is how I got billed $18,903 for a poop sample diagnosis. That’s the most expensive **** you’ll ever hear about. As outlandish as it seems, this is how Modaro Health was born.
Back in 2020, on the verge of my graduation in the US, my health unexpectedly spiraled. Suddenly, every meal was a gamble, leaving me bloated and in discomfort. Without any real experience dealing with American healthcare I found myself on a quest for answers that would prove both exhaustive and frustrating.
Stranded by COVID and unable to fly home, I started a marathon of doctor visits. Four gastroenterologists later, with a series of tests and procedures under my belt, all I got was a tentative, "Maybe it's IBS?" Add to this a baffling $18,903 bill for a poop sample, mistakenly sent out-of-network by my insurance, and the situation couldn't get more surreal.
Heck, I've never spent this much on healthcare in 26 years of life.
