Why is treating traumatic brain injury so expensive?

Treating TBI is expensive because it is or can become a long-term, progressive disease that affects both the mental and physical faculties of the brain. That covers a wide range of the medical spectrum, from neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, psychologists, physical therapists and you’re your own primary care physician. Each case is different, but even in less severe cases of TBI, all of these medical resources may need to be accessed. In more severe cases, permanent long-term care needs may be required. The most important thing to remember about TBI is – see a doctor immediately.
