Has anyone had to pay a portion of their hospital bill upfront? If so how much?

I did pay for my inpatient room cost during my pre op appointment for a 20 percent discount for paying in full right on the spot.

Other bills for surgeon and anesthesia came three months later.

I paid approx $3,000 to the surgeon up front, and $3000 to the hospital up front. We'll get refunded the extra once the insurance settles out.

I paid 480 for my room. My surgeon bill was 400 something, the anesthesia was 1000 something after insurance. I only paid room cost up front. Guess I made out ok hehe.

I am sure it varies greatly depending on insurance provider.
