Ask for a rate comparable to what the big insurers are getting locally. They told you the figure. And you will pay cash immediatley. They should bill the insurance to see how that shakes out.
Or they can wait while it is denied . . .
The general anesthesia for this is required because it is a video assisted dissection under the abdominal muscles - impossible to numb it up.
Anesthesia charge would be as stated. Only 1 in 30 cases pay anywhere near that. Medicare $200, MediCaid $175 depending on state. Blue Cross etc - $350. It is time dependant.
