Can anyone shed light on how much their surgery was? I have blue shield gold h m o 500/35 and was told they cover the doctor's fees but I am responsible for 20% of the hospital stay. Can anyone share how much they paid for surgery or give me any insight on how much $$$ I should prepare?

Thanks!!

My insurance was covered but I had to pay my deductible. When you call your insurance you should be able to ask how much you except to pay to meet the deductible.

For me it was 1500 deductible I had already met 200 of that so I paid 1300 for my surgery. Surgery itself was 32k.

My deductible is $500 and OOP Max is $6,500. They said I am responsbile for 20% of the hospital stay, whatever that amount is. Professional fees they cover.

Thanks for your response, really appreciate it.
