Just Got My Bill From The Hospital...



Recommended Posts

So the bill says 110,915.17 after all the discounts it totals 28,207.00 that's a pretty penny IMO not to bad considering I spent 4 days in a private room at Cedars Sinai..

Hello everyone I'm brand new here (well I 've been lurking for about a month). My insurance company pays for 80% of my surgery and I am in charge of the other 20. I was wondering if more of you could share what the cost of your surgery was (after the discounts).

Thanks for any information.

My final bill was almost $27,000 (at a top-notch facility in Boston, MA). My out-of-pocket for my life-changing surgery?? $100. Thank you SO MUCH, Harvard Pilgrim H.M.O!!! :)

I never tallied my bills up but know I saw one for $48k....I was only responsible for about $1500 of the entire process so not much at all....

I work with insurance frequently as the Director of Human Resources for my firm. I was self-pay and my single bill was around $18,000. I was told that if I had insurance coverage the health care providers would have billed the insurance company roughly $50,000. Ridiculous.

My total out of pocket expenses were limited to a $100 co-pay, kbby....I didn't have to pay any percentage of the total bill. I was incredibly fortunate...and HP approved my surgery within 2 days of receiving the first request for approval from my surgeon's office. :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
