Just Got My Bill From The Hospital...

[soocalchic 1,087]

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..

Amazing, we are pretty lucky! I could have never done this without insurance covering it! Very lucky and happy!

[soocalchic 1,087]

Not sure yet I have an *** and think I'm responsble for 10% of it..

^{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.

What hospital in San Antonio did you have your surgery?

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.
