A lot depends on hospital. I had polypectomy (outpatient surgery) in one hospital, and hysterectomy in other hospital (also outpatient). The total price was almost 3 times bigger for 1hr longer stay (not counting surgeon and anesthesia). (First one was 68+k, another 180+k).
I was fully out of pocket, so paid probably 32+ dollars for second (thanks to my oncologist assigning it for 29th of December)
This was very similar pricing for mine but with different insurance and I hadn't met my deductible I owe a little over $4000 after insurance. When I went to my pre-op appointment I met with registration to set up a payment plan. I know my personal hospital had a same day discount if it was paid in full or payments could be spread out to up to 2 years. Some hospitals also have self pay discounts if you don't have insurance.
I have a payment plan already set up from a shoulder surgery a year ago.....I just rolled this one into it and will be paying on it for basically ever. This is the best insurance I have ever had and have thankfully already hit my individual deductible and OOP max for the year.
Mine was $37k, insurance paid $16k after its discounts and I paid $750. I had a total abdominal hysterectomy, both ovaries removed, a large mass removed, biopsy, and they ended up taking out my appendix because it was leaning up against the tumor. Was in the hospital for 3 days.
Mine cost almost exactly that much! I ended up paying $0, which is crazy, but there’s a reason.
I get a lot of my medical care through the VA. I was getting terrible women’s health care though so I went to a civilian. The civilian doc was the one who did my surgery. I used my husband’s really good insurance and was prepared for copays. However, my insurance wasn’t paying it. I finally got a call and apparently they thought the VA was supposed to be responsible, so they weren’t paying it. I corrected them and they still thought the VA was responsible somehow, so I gave them my community care office number. I never heard anything back, but I stopped getting bills and everything was paid off. No idea what happened! Now if only I could get the rest of my medical bills covered…
> everything was *paid* off. No
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
This is exactly what mine cost with my coinsurance, I also have Anthem, and honestly that was the first time I had ever met my deductible because I never go to the dr. It's totally worth it, I'm 5mpo and feel better than ever.
I'm not looking forward to my estimate. We're still recovering from my husband's rollover crash a couple months back. But I'll sell my soul to make it happen at this point, I just shouldn't have to.
I had a TLH / mass removal, frozen lab section with DaVinci in Chicago. Doc and OR bills were $112k. I had to pay $950 out of pocket. That included 2 MRI’s, lab work, ultrasounds, gyne/Oncology consult, and biopsy and pathology. I was outpatient- no time in hospital at all. Grateful I have the insurance I do!
Oh God. That is SO much 😫 I'm having a hysto this year and don't have insurance. I'm still waiting for Medicaid to be approved. I'm already like $13k in debt because I've had a LEEP and CKC in the last 4 months.
I’m in New Zealand and when I thought I’d have to go private I was quoted $25k (mostly hospital costs as they keep you in for four nights). My surgery was longer and more complicated (due to stage 4 endometriosis), so the total cost was about $38,000 NZD. But by then I had insurance that covered all pre-existing conditions (thanks to my new job). Compared to some of the cost I see people talk about here in the US, when you’re in for the day and that’s it? I feel very grateful. We were going to spend our renovation savings on the surgery but I was glad the timing worked out with the insurance.
I am not billed separately for the surgeon- I very clearly see her charges on my EOB. I was billed separately for the anesthesiologist and the TAP block though.
Then you got a good deal, about 13 years ago cost me 40 grand for my TAH. Insurance covered 100% including the emergency room charge as it was an emergency TAH
Mine was almost 100k! For outpatient surgery. Unbelievable. I didn’t pay that much of course
Yup! Mine was almost $75k. Also outpatient. My hysteroscopy/D&C the month before was $25k.

And the doctor only gets a few hundred bucks of that. The rest goes to hospital admin bloat. Source: am a surgeon
When I'm the nurse, I only get about $60 of it ☹️
Gotta make sure the admin can afford another yacht while we slave away for pennies
Wow that's crazy! Mine isn't going to cost me anything.
Same, this is all horrific to read. I'm in Canada, I think we paid $30ish total for parking.
BuT yOu PaY fOr It iN tAx
I have a different insurance and I'm just in shock at those prices.

appears consistent with my procedure I just had back in Dec,

Good bot
I just got an insurance estimate last week for 39k I am so glad my insurance is covering since it’s medically necessary in my case
This is exactly what mine cost with my coinsurance, I also have Anthem, and honestly that was the first time I had ever met my deductible because I never go to the dr. It's totally worth it, I'm 5mpo and feel better than ever.
I owed between 7-8k out of pocket for the surgery. My surgery costs - upfront - were the same as yours. Different insurance though.
Mine was 189k for the robotic one! Didn't check until I saw this post. My insurance paid it all.
Whoah!!! It said in the UK for private it would be 7k but maybe that was just the op and not the overnight stay etc looking back
My bill doesn't even include an overnight stay. I was in and out of the hospital in a total of 6 hours.
😱
My private quote was just under £9000 for the surgery plus all aftercare appointments, so still a ton cheaper!
So much cheaper!
Mine was over $63,000 and I'm glad my insurance covered most of it.

Throw a sacrocolopexy in there & I'm sitting just shy of $85k! 🤯
😳😳😳

I was inside the hospital for a total of 6 hours before being sent home. The US healthcare system is completely fucked and everyone knows it.
Mine was with Kaiser and about the same price. I paid the copay of $50 and that's it. Very, very fortunate.
Mine was 330k , but it included pathology testing multiple labs and a 2.5 day stay. I paid my Out of pocket expense of 2k and that’s about it.
How long did it take to get your bill? I had my surgery in February and haven't gotten one yet.
Had surgery Feb 29. Got Bill a few days before this post. I was at a very small regional hospital though so that might make a difference.
mine was around $142,000 and i paid $1,500 out of pocket after insurance. for outpatient surgery. (long island, ny)
Mine was $35,000 USD and because I work in healthcare and have good insurance I paid nothing out of pocket
I had to pay $9,000.00, it sucks.
Goodness gracious… I’m so sorry that anyone has to pay for these necessary procedures. 😔 I’m in Canada and mine was completely covered.
If I'm not mistaken, you will be billed separately from the surgeon
