Hi! I will be curious too to see how you make out with Carefirst. I have been waiting on an appeal 5.5 wks. So please let me know how it turns out. To answer your question though, estimates I have heard for the surgery go anywhere from 17,000 to 25,000 or more. So that might give you a ballpark area. Maybe too you can work out a deal with your Doctor to accept what they pay or just slightly more. Good luck to you.

I also have Carefirst through local union 80/20. My upfront out of pocket was $1125.00. $125.00 of that was my deductible because I have now gone into a new year. The finance coordinator at the department of surgery told me that amount was very low compared to 6 or 7 thousand most have to pay upfront. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning and I won't be back to my computer before Monday but if I can halp with any other information let me know.
