How much does inguinal hernia surgery cost?


Question:
I am going to be needing surgery for a inguinal hernia, my doctor said he wont do it laproscopaly but just the old fashion way.

I do not have insurance, does anyone know a rough estimate on how much it will cost? like for example 4500-5000$ or something? PLEASE HELP i need to know about how much this will cost.

Answers:
did the doctor tell you how much s/he charges ? usually the surgeon gets a fee and then there would be a hospital fee , the anesthesia doctor gets a fee. i would ask him if he does perform the surgery lapro because you recover quicker . less time in hospital , will mean less money. it is also means you can probably go back to work faster . lapro is a newer technique and some doctors don't know it so they tell you they will do the old fashioned way. sometimes lapro costs more money. i know that with one of my surgeries the insurance company preferred that it be done traditional because it was more cost effective. i think that "cash " customers get much better rates than insurance companies pay. Has never made sense to me. Good luck to you.
