| I was self funded and paid $24 800 in total, and got $1000 back off Medicare. The hospital was the main cost at $17 000, but I was in ICU the first night. Surgeon was $4200, wouldn't want to go with anyone else though. Also had an endoscopy a couple of weeks beforehand, which is also included. | |
