I tell her know and she says my portion of the bill is 25% of the total. The total cost of the procedure is $218,489.00. I said - do you mean Twenty-One Thousand? She said no - Two Hundred and eighteen thousand.
But - My portion is $2709.00. I'll have met my max out of pocket of $5000 when I pay this.
They actually agreed to $900 upfront and will bill the remainder.
I knew this surgery was expensive, but I had no idea.
Thank God I have insurance.
