Holy crap, between surgeon and hospital it was over $100,000. Thankfully my portion is only $1,000.

The sickening part is if you paid cash for the exact same procedure and same length of stay it would've only been between $20,000 - $30,000. That's how much hospitals inflate the bills to make an insane amount. I know cause I paid cash and my surgeon was the best in Houston. So seriously...it's a shame they even charge you that $1,000.... This is why the cost of insurance is so out of hand.. I know..I work in the industry.

That's crazy expensive! I'm from Canada and I paid for parking lol...okay I know annoying [emoji4] but I did have to do 10 months of pre-op seeing nutritionists, surgeon, social workers, ecterra... it was a lot of appointments. And my taxes pay for health care so I'm paying lots!
