Just to be clear, $225 might be the administering pdoc's own fee or some other subset of charges. The hospital billing department where I'm considering having ECT done told me that the hospital charges at least $5,000 and sometimes over $9,000 PER TREATMENT. The anesthesiologist and pdoc add their charges on top of that.
