Preop testing for self pay in the states

[Ylime 453]

I'll chime in too for costs in Colorado.

Total package price is $11,800. This is broken down by:

$7,800 to the hospital (psych eval, dietitian, support groups, anesthesia, meds, 24/7 care, food, etc.)

$4,000 to the surgeon for in pre-op office visits, lab work, and 3 months of follow up care

Any testing needed to be done by my PCP or a specialist (blood work, EKG, GI) would be on my own or through insurance if coded properly.

Any followup visits with the surgeon after 90 days would be out of pocket but I don't have a price on those yet - Not even sure if I would really want/require them.

Also - Make sure that both your surgeon and the hospital will accept the form of financing you'll be using. My hospital only accepts credit cards or cash so any financing option that wants to pay providers directly wouldn't work.
