Cost range for AN removal by House?

(1/4) > >>

paul007ex:
I was recently diagnosed..wtihin the last week. It's supposed to be around 4 *5 *5 mm or so.. Very nervous. I'm 31.

Looked @ a bunch of options and the surgical method at HouseLabs seems most inviting. However, I've found very little that suggests what total cost with hospital stay ranges?

I realize it depends on insurance.. but what about some examples? I have Aetna PPO from Texas. I have no idea what their coverage is, but I do know that their "out of network" is 50%, or something to that effect..

I read a report about $30,000 average across all hospitals but that was a number of years ago..

Can someone share their cost experience with House, please?

Hi, Paul ~

I can't offer you the fees for HEI because I didn't have my AN surgery there.  However, many of our members have used HEI and I'm sure they'll be along with some numbers for you.

FWIW: my bill from the hospital where I had my AN surgery came to approximately $65,000. My neurosurgeon's bill was a very reasonable $28,000. (for a 9-hour surgery using two neurosurgeons).  Other surgery-related expenses came to approximately $5,000. for a total of just under $100,000.  That was in 2006 in a New Haven, Connecticut facility.  Fortunately, once I met my $1,500. 'out-of-pocket' deductible, Blue Cross paid the rest of the bill. 

I assume HEI, being specialists, will charge more plus inflation will add to the total.  I suggest that you carefully check your policy to see exactly what is covered and at what percentage rate.  HEI may want some money upfront and you need to be prepared for that.

Four years ago, I had mine done at House and after all was said and done, it was over 100k. Thank goodness I had excellent insurance so it was very little out of pocket for me.

Call House directly, they will look into all of your costs with your insurance and give you the figures, its better than guessing!
