Just The Hospital Fees

[SaraWalk 30]

I am expecting to be able to have my surgery in August or September upon approval of insurance. The reason I am unsure of the exact date is the facility i will be having the surgery requires me to pay my part of the facility (hospital) charge upfront. And on top of that the finacial representative at the hospital is unable to give me the amount i will be due as it is subject to possibley change. While I completely understand change, I would just like to at least get a grasp on the range of dollars i should expect to pay. I work for the insurance company that I am covered through and know i am not able to get a quote from them as they can not quote on facility charges because the contracts differ so much from facility to facility. I will be using a center for excellence and am in Washington state, with BCBS insurance. What i am looking for is just some examples of what you have all paid for the **hospital fees only*** even if u live in a different state, just want to see what everyone else has been billed. I have a good grasp on the surgeon and anesthesiolgist already and they will bill me anyways. I have a $3000 ded, i expect to have met or near met by surgery and a 10,000 max out of pocket (im on a family plan). My insurance covers 80% after ded. If anyone has had their surgery done at the Deaconess Medical Center your input would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks everyone so much!

My surgeon billed for 3000 and got 1600. Hospital billed for 17000 and got 13000. I live in Portland and went to Legacy Good Sam Weight Management Institute.

I also had to pay 20% to the hospital, different hospital and different state.

My portion was just over $3000 to the hospital.

BUT I got a 25% discount if I paid before the surgery.

Expect to pay $3000 in hospital, anenethesia, and doc fees. Check out care credit. 18 mos 0% interest. Most take it.

My total Hospital bill was around $29,000. To which I only paid $355. I have yet to receive the bill from my doctor or my anesthesiologist since i just had the surgery done on 5/25. The hospital billed me up front!! Luckily I have a primary and a secondary insurance that will go towards my bills.
