EGD cost?

[TaylorMade4One 105]

Does anyone know or remember the cost of their EDG?

Mine was 1000$ after insurance you should be able to call the billing specialist or your insurance and figure out exactly how much they are covering.

The hospital is saying the estimated cost is 2600 after insurance. That seems like a lot!!

( ouch!)

Does your insurance have a max out of pocket for the year? Look at it this way you are most likely meeting that max and can get other things addressed health-wise plus you have a security blanket if you end up dehydrated or other wise not feeling well for the rest of the year.

True. My max is 6k per year. I don't want to even pay 6k. Lord help me!!

It's horridly expensive but you are making an investment in yourself that will lead to a much longer and healthier life.

You will live longer and have more fun doing it you will reap cosmetic and health benefits from this =)

I don't know. I just paid my surgeon $200 for my EDG and $200 to the hospital. They have me on a payment plan to pay off the rest of the estimated bill. THEN billing at my surgeon office says once I am approved she will let me know what my pre surgery amout is. I'll have to pay that before my surgery date. She says approx 800-1000 out of pocket. By the way tge 2600 for EDG doesn't include the anesthesiologists cost...Lord help me
