I just found out my surgeon is out of network. He is 9900 and my insurace will only cover 50% of it. The hospital bills seperately and my doctor preforms at in network hospitals. So I am wondering how much people payed for the hospital part? I am thinking about stick with my out of network surgeon because 1) I love her and 2) I have already started six month diet with her. BTW the surgeon price includes all doctors necessary. Thanks for your guys help.
