While I did self-pay for a different procedure, SIPS, it was 17K. When you go through insurance, while it saves you personally, the doctors and hospitals rip off the insurance company by charging $40-50K and so much more for the same procedure. I wouldn't factor in quotes from folks that went through insurance as those are mark up prices!

I am doing it self pay in florida in December for $10,500

My ins was billed $68k but I'm sure self pay would be way cheaper. I've had 2 friends go to mexico for about $6500 total and neither of them regret it. Do your research and you'll find something that fits your budget

This is what I was going to say. If you go with self-pay you won't be charged the same as what the hospital bills an insurance provider.

I'm using insurance, but there are several centers in my area that work with self-pay patients and prices range from $9,500-$12,000. Good luck on your search!

Ive seen people post as low as $9000 in the states, less in Mexico.

I'm in Houston my insurance only covered a portion of the surgery. The rest I have to finance. All dr visits I have to put down a copay. I also had not met the deductible so I had to pay that in full to the surgeon before I was able to be scheduled for the surgery. I have to finance about 5k.

I paid 34,000 total at Beverly Hills Physicians in Beverly Hills California and 3,000 for after care facility

Just remember what insurance was billed means absolutely nothing. Those are contracted and the hospital in no way expects to get that money. Self pay has a much lower price.
My friends who went to Mexico paid $4K

I did mine at Charlton Methodist with Dr Castro I believe his cost is still around $10.5K. I highly suggest you do a consult with them they were fantastic.
