Thanks WannaBe. Is that 18,000 just for Wadley, alone? Wow. I thought the whole thing was about 16,00 counting the dr. bill. Anyway I think I have finally gotton a pretty good estimate. I know exactly how much the dr. is and an est. for the hospital. Havent gotton a good estimate for the aneth. yet. Wadley has their own anest. but I think it is billed separate. If you don't have insurance they gave a price of 800. but of course it is different if you have insurance. I am sure it is way up there. My insurance pays 50% after my 500 deductible. I think I will hear from Dr. Keilins office next week about a confirmation on the surgery date. We are shooting for March 7. I don't have anything planned for that month, no out of town trips. I am waiting to hear from wish412 (Mizboo) again too. I think she and I have the same insurance. I am just not sure about her deductable. Anyway thanks for the info. Everyone on this thread has been very helpful. It's nice hearing from people that are using the same facilities and doctors. Of course I like hearing from all the others too. I am sure when I have my surgery I will have a dozen more questions. Take care!
