Hey looking for input out there in cyberland....

I will be covered by my insurance BUT I will have to pay 20% (Hospital Side) Does anyone know what the bill from the hospital was to the insurance company????

Looking for ballparks not specifics....

One night stayover, no hernia repair......

Thanks

Total charge to my insurance company was... *looking it up, thought I could remember, brb*

About $37,805 original billing to the insurance company. That's everything including anesthesia, psycholgoist, etc.

Looks like from the actual hospital was $29,076.25. That's the amount showing from the facility.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I bumped my FSA to cover my outta pocket max, and it looks like it's about right.

Mine was roughly around $40k overnight visit. Sounds like you have a handle on it.

Thanks!!!!!!!!! You know I overheard a patient complaining about 33K, asking if that was right or not for the insurance/hospital portion.... the recept didn't know... and now I know it WAS right... dang

Sad part is that's outpatient. I got there early but surgery started around 10, and I went home before 2.

Wish I could make that much in 3 hours.

So true: I'm in the WRONG line of work........oh hey wait a minute.. I would PASS OUT if I had to move someones liver over and look at a gross fat pad around their stomach... so maybe I'll just stay here! LOL

Dang. I have a $5K deductible (when you work for yourself, insurance is WAY high) then they pay 80%. In reality, I'll be paying less going to Mexico and not have to deal with all the hassles from the insurance company. I have a 40 BMI but no co-morbidity issues (I'm a healthy fat girl ) so I'm sure it would be ages even IF I got the OK from BCBS.

My total surgery cost was about $14,000. $4,000 to the doctor himself, $1,000 for Anesthesia, and $7,800 for The facility charge(same-day, at a surgery center, not a hospital.) The psych eval was another $200, plus $150 just for her to send the report to my doctor. I think the nutritionist visit was included. I had to pay up front, and am now waiting for my insurance to re-imburse me (they sent a letter before surgery saying that it was approved, and I was told it should be paid at 90%) I hope that is really what happens because I borrowed the money from my mom!

WOW.... that might be a better way to go...... get the cash price THEN get it back from the insurance company....... Thanks for everyones imput.

My annual out of pocket max is $3900 so I had planned that into my FSA... it's gonna be a tough year with that extra $150 coming out of my check, but it will all be paid for in this year tax free
