While I would agree that this is a fairly large expense, it does seem to me to be pretty reasonable. I had my bi-lateral orchiectomy done in a hospital last year and was billed for $30,241 including the hospital charges, anestheologist, my urologist and pathology but none of the pre-op stuff like my pre-op physical and lab tests. My insurance paid them bottom line $6496 which is still twice what Ms Bowers would cost.
