And for what it's worth, remember that I'm not really undergoing aggressive treatment. As a result, I have no doubt the costs of my treatment are far less than those faced my most other cancer patients.
I'll update the table as new or better information comes in -- making sense of medical bills is not my strong suit.

* Since Group Health is both a provider and insurer, I didn't always get detailed bills for their services. I just paid the $20 co-pay and that took care of it.
** There was a time when I was good at managing paperwork. Those days are gone, and I've clearly lost some of the records for my cancer treatment.
