I am in a pickle. I have a medicare advantage plan and they cover 100% of surgery. Problem is today I found out that it is 100% of what medicare would pay...smh yea. I'm like whats the point of me having a medicare advantage plan if you pay what regular medicare pays????  Anyways I would like to know how much is paid for the hospital stay? I've talked to the anastheisologist (if thats how you spell it)lol and I've talked with my doctor and found out how much I have to pay him. Now the only one left to pay is the hospital and I'm praying it's not over $600 because that's all I've been able to budget.

THanks

My surgery will also be picked up by Medicare and will be at Norman Regional Hospital. They want $550 up front and $550 in payments for my part of the costs. Hope that helps!  Wish me well. My surgery will be on November 8th with Dr. Keith.
