Insurance Question
I apologize if this is not the correct forum and for the fact that this question may be personal... However, I am just curious as to approximately how much did you have to pay out of pocket for your surgery. I know amounts may vary, but I am just looking for a ballpark figure right now. Thanks, y'all!
My surgery (vsg/ in the hospital 1 night) was over $60,00 (In Washington, DC). My insurance agreed to the amount of $40,000 and I had to pay 10% ($4,000 ). These amounts were for the surgeon, the hospital and all other doctors/tests. Every plan is different, some have no coverage, others pay 100%, mine just happened to be--the insurance company pays 90% and I pay 10%. Good luck on your journey--I can tell you it's the best $$$ I've ever spent!

About $450 for the surgery and hospital stay. Plus something like $25 per appointment for many of my pre-op and post-op appointments with the surgeon.
